Give the Gift of Healthy Gourmet Bliss

In most cultures throughout the globe, Christmas is an occasion to indulge. Cultures throughout the world celebrate Christmas as an occasion for bountiful indulgence. As the principal commercial holiday of the year, shopkeepers start offering Christmas products and streaming the Christmas tunes as soon as Thanksgiving is over and sometimes sooner! Deluxe department stores like Sachs Fifth Avenue and Macy’s design glorious window displays portraying signs of Christmas in a glitz and glam show of glitter, snow, and red and green striped candy canes. Even countries like Japan, which is not accepted as a Christian country, take on the holiday spirit and stock up on gifts for the Christmas season. I guess the spirit of giving is irresistible even when split from its religious roots. The spirit of indulgence which Christmas brings upon us is not only extended to the gifts we give, but it branches out to encompass the decorations we see all across town and most of all, the food we love! Have you ever meandered through neighborhoods at night just to marvel at all of the Christmas lights on front lawns and roof tops? And how many times have you given yourself a tummy ache with all the Christmas cookies you scarfed at the Christmas cookie exchange? These are all parts of Christmas which have become a tradition and they are all about adding pleasure to our lives in the gloomiest part of the year. Christmas is a time to commemorate life. In a religious context, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of God’s son on Earth, Jesus Christ. Even people who are not religious choose Christmas as a time to celebrate the presence of their loved ones in their life. Christmas is a time for gourmet living as I have mentioned before. Everything from the food you eat to the decorations you hang to the presents you give displays the spirit of the holiday, but they are not cheap. In hard economic times, we find individuals limiting their Christmas spending and making necessary sacrifices to save money. Some people decide to purchase an artificial tree to save themselves the expense of buying a new one year after year. Others choose energy saving Christmas lights in order to have a smaller energy bill at the end of the season. And some people decide to skip purchasing the ready made honey baked ham and to baste a ham at home instead. No matter how your family chooses to save money this year, there is no reason why you should have to decrease your gift giving just to get by.
