Velvet Jeans


No matter how much I run around in the month of December I start to resemble Santa. And by that I do not mean the ho ho ho—ing or the fluffy beard part—I mean the increased girth.

Because even though I tend not to be an over-eater under ordinary circumstances holiday season is not ordinary. I do not have the time to shop for or put together healthy meals. And there is too much temptation—even if you only take a single bite. And if you add all those single bites to the extra glasses of Pinot Griglio the sum is the need for more than control top pantyhose.

I tried on my velvet jeans today. They fit well and looked great. They did last year at this time too. But by the time I needed to wear them in late December last year I had to lie down to zipper them up. And even my silk blouse was a little too voluminous to tuck in. Plus I could not sit down without fear that the seams would split.

With certainty I can predict the same thing happening again this year.

A friend of mine wrote on Facebook that since her fat jeans no longer fit she was contemplating buying some of those pajama jeans they advertise on TV for $19.99 if you buy now. I wonder if they come in velvet? Because I would pay money for those for sure.
