For me, participating in a cookie exchange at Christmas is bad news. I always tell myself I'm joining because I want to collect a bunch of different kinds of cookies so I can freeze them and bring them out when company is over, but who am I kidding? Those suckers are gone by Christmas Eve. And really, I don't get enough company to justify 12 dozen different varieties.

Diet guru Julia Havey recently put together a list of the worst holiday diet disasters. Here are her picks:

• Egg Nog. One serving is 460 calories!
• Cheese balls. They're pretty much all fat. Ick.
  
• Pecan Pie. It's 500 calories per slice, and that's without ice cream
• Candied yams. They'll pack a sugar punch, especially if they have marshmallows.
  
• Canned Cranberry Sauce. It has 200 calories per half cup, and zero nutritional value. Make your own
• Stuffing. You can make healthy stuffing, so do it instead of relying on Stove Top

What's your holiday vice?
