This week it seems I can’t twirl in place without stepping on a tray of holiday sweets.

They’re everywhere — in my fridge, in the office, even on a group run (What’s a group training session without a giant cookie for a post-run snack?).

OK, so I’m partially to blame. I made a ton of cookies for a photo shoot or two. And even though I keep sending those cookies away (“To the trough with you!”), they always seem to pop up somewhere.

And, of course, I’m not the only one producing sweet treats. Above, I’ve pictured our trough, full of goodies like rum cake, spritz, white-chocolate-dipped pretzels and more.

So, I ask you: How do you handle a never-ending array of sweets?
