Ever since I was a little child, I have always looked forward to Christmas.

At first it was all about the wonderful presents that Santa left under the tree, but as I grew older, I realized the holiday season is a great time to catch up with family and old friends.

This year, that is exactly what I promised myself to do.

I planned my social calendar between the last two weeks of December to accommodate each invite, and with a little bit of juggling here and there, I was so excited at being able to fit everyone in.

It’s genetic. Really. The “flabby arms syndrome”, as my sisters call it, runs in the family. No matter what exercises I incorporate in my fitness workouts, I still can’t seem to get rid of the excess inches around my arms.

So what is the point of having a sexy body with super nice abs, butt ….. and flabby arms?

Well, sometime during the summer, one of my girlfriends joined Avon as an independent sales representative. If it wasn’t for her trying to sell me items “I don’t need” off one of her catalogs, I probably wouldn’t have bought what has come to be one of the best exercise gadgets for toning my arms.
