I remember the year my mom tried to lose weight by getting "diet shots." I think it was around 1969. That Christmas was wild. All the gifts were decorated with these elaborate Christmas scenes--sleighs with reindeer, Santa faces out of copious amounts of yarn, bells made out of styrofoam, etc. Mom had LOTS of energy that year, I'll tell ya.... My mom has angels made out of magazines folded just the right way, with a styrofoam ball on top, spray painted gold. Beee-yutiful. ;)
