I’m all about national ice cream month! (I also go through the holidays on my blog, though in a somewhat different manner, but still with an emphasis on humor.)
Remember that diets don’t apply on holidays. So if it’s a food holiday, then eat however much of it you want to celebrate it! :)

Chad Israel: I did forget to dress up like a cow. Sorry about that!
Thomas Wayne: Hey, great minds think alike with calendars!
I like your logic about diets and holidays. You’re right. I had a hamburger and a hotdog on the 4th of July. They were soooo good.
