Give the Gift of Gourmet Bliss

In many countries all over the globe, Christmas is a time to indulge. Societies throughout the globe observe Christmas as a time for generous indulgence. As the largest commercial holiday of the year, stores start offering Christmas merchandise and playing the Jingle Bell songs as soon as Thanksgiving is over and sometimes sooner! Grand department stores for example Sachs Fifth Avenue and Macy’s create magnificent window displays portraying signs of Christmas in a glitz and glam presentation of glitter, snow, and red and green striped candy canes. Even countries such as Japan, which is not accepted as a Christian country, slip into the holiday spirit and load up on presents for the Christmas season. I guess the spirit of giving is irresistible even when separated from its religious origins. 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 ornaments we see all across town and most of all, the food we eat! Have you ever driven 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 treats you ate at the holiday cookie exchange? These Christmas traditions are developed throughout the years in order to give us something to look forward to in the gloom of winter.

Even people who are not Christian have embraced Christmas for the sense of togetherness it conveys to friends and families. Christmas is a time for gourmet living as I have said before. Everything from the food you eat to the decorations you put up to the presents you give mirrors the season of the holiday, but they are not free of cost. In hard economic times, we find people cutting back on their Christmas spending and making crucial sacrifices to save money. Some people choose to get an artificial tree to save themselves the price of buying a new one year after year. Others purchase energy saving Christmas lights in order to have a smaller energy bill at the end of the season. And some individuals choose to relinquish bringing home the ready made honey baked ham and to baste a ham at home instead. No matter how your family chooses to save money this season, there is no reason why you should have to decrease your gift giving just to get by.
