Are you aware? Have you not yet come to the realization? It is time for Pie. Lots and lots of Pie. Pumpkin Pie, pecan Pie, mincemeat Pie (you probably hate that one)....slurp. There is no other time of the year when I simply must eat Pie. Is it because it's cooler outside and nutty spiced up Pie makes me all warm inside? Is it because someone who really knows their way around Pie made that Pie and you know you just can't miss out? This, of course, is not a healthy relationship with Pie...when the Pie has such control. So I pray. I pray for the strength to defeat Pie or at least be it's equal. I pray for peace when I decide that I will limit myself to only one piece of Pie. Of course I won't ask "What would Jesus eat" because, HE WOULD EAT THE PIE!
And, would I like coffee with that? "If you don't know me by now...you will never never never know me" Of course I want coffee. I want black coffee with Pie.
So as we all prepare our list of thanksgivings, our hearts for the coming of the Christ child, let's also prepare our minds for the temptations that come along with the joy of the season.

A nationwide poll by Schwan's Consumer Brands North America (the makers of Mrs. Smith's)asked participants what their three favorite pies were, people chose apple pies a whopping 72 percent of the time (47 percent for plain apple pie, and 25 percent for apple-crumb pie). The silver medal went to pumpkin pie, with 37 percent of the vote. Chocolate-cream pie came in third with 32 percent and cherry came in with 27percent.
The exact results:
1. Apple, 47 percent
2. Pumpkin, 37 percent
3. Chocolate creme, 32 percent
4. Cherry, 27 percent
5. Apple crumb, 25 percent
6. Pecan, 24 percent
7. Lemon Meringue, 24 percent
8. Blueberry, 21 percent
9. Key lime, 18 percent
10. Peach, 16 percent
Missing are three of my favorites: chess pie, coconut cream pie & blackberry pie.
