No.  None for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why am I so mean?  Am I hoping you'll have &lt;a href="http://www.speakeasy.org/%7Esjmaks/cereal/"&gt;bacon cereal&lt;/a&gt; stashed away that you can live off of?  No, I will not provide you with this excellent holiday treat.  You can't even have &lt;a href="http://zucchini.writesthis.com/bacon-and-zucchini-chocolate-chip-cookies/"&gt;bacon and zucchini chocolate chip cookies.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's just because I'm a bastard-in-training.  I won't make you a single bacon-based food this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And by "this year" I mean "next year."
