Dear Santa Grandpa…All I want for Christmas is to indulge in all things sweet and decadent, (imagine the lovely Christmas log cakes perfectly layered with velvety chocolate cream and graham cookies!) without any tinge of guiltiness or risk of becoming the Bay Max of 2016. If this is what you secretly wished for, brace yourself sisters! The Santa’s elves at MyFatPocket have heard you, and since you have been such a sweet baby this year, your wish is our command.
