In numerous cultures throughout the globe, Christmas is an occasion to indulge. Cultures around the world enjoy Christmas as a time for luxurious indulgence. As the principal commercial holiday of the year, shopkeepers begin distributing Christmas products and streaming the Christmas music as soon as Thanksgiving is over and sometimes earlier! Grand department stores such as Sachs Fifth Avenue and Macy’s put up impressive window displays portraying signs of Christmas in a glitz and glam display of glitter, snow, and red and green striped candy canes. Even countries like Japan, which is not acknowledged as a Christian country, get into the holiday spirit and stock up on gifts for the Christmas season. I guess the spirit of giving is irresistible even when separated 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 décor we see all over town and best of all, the food we love! Have you ever wandered through neighborhoods at night just to look at all of the Christmas lights on front lawns and roof tops? And how many times have you given yourself a belly ache with all the Christmas sweets you ate at the Christmas cookie exchange? These Christmas traditions are formed throughout the years in order to give us something to look forward to in the gloom of winter.
Christmas is a time to honor 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 Christian have adopted Christmas for the feeling of togetherness it brings to friends and families. Christmas is a time for gourmet living as I have mentioned before. Everything from the dishes you eat to the decorations you put up to the presents you give suggests the season of the holiday, but they are not without cost. In hard economic times, we see people limiting their Christmas spending and making necessary sacrifices to save money. Some people choose to buy a fake tree to save themselves the expense of purchasing a new one every year. Other people choose energy saving Christmas lights so they will have a smaller energy bill at the end of the year. And some people choose to relinquish purchasing the ready made honey baked ham and to cook a ham at home instead. However your family chooses to save money this year, there is no reason why you should have to cut down on your gift giving just to save money. At Baskets By Rita, we are dedicated to giving you the most for your money. Not only do our baskets ship globally, but they have the gourmet appearance you need to express your wishes for a gourmet Christmas.
