Give the Gift of Gourmet Bliss

In most cultures around the globe, Christmas is an occasion to indulge. Nations around the globe enjoy Christmas as an occasion for luxurious indulgence. As the principal commercial holiday of the year, stores start distributing Christmas products and playing the Jingle Bell songs as soon as Thanksgiving is over and sometimes earlier! Major department stores for example Sachs Fifth Avenue and Macy's put up brilliant window displays illustrating signs of Christmas in a fantastic display 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 load up on gifts 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 décor we see all around town and best of all, the food we love! Have you ever driven through neighborhoods at night just to gaze at all of the Christmas lights on front lawns and roof tops? And how many times have you given yourself a stomach ache with all the Christmas sweets you ate at the holiday cookie exchange? These Christmas traditions are developed over the years in order to give us something to look forward to in the dead of winter. 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 individuals who are not Christian have adopted Christmas for the spirit of togetherness it conveys to friends and families. Christmas is a time for gourmet living as I have said before. Everything from the dishes you eat to the decorations you put up to the presents you give reflects the essence of the holiday, but they are not cheap. In hard economic times, we find individuals cutting back on their Christmas spending and making crucial sacrifices to save money. Some people choose to get a fake tree to save themselves the price of buying a new one year after year. Others buy energy efficient Christmas lights so they will have a smaller energy bill at the end of the season. And some people choose to relinquish buying the ready made honey baked ham and to roast a chicken at home instead. No matter how your family prefers to save money this Christmas, there is no reason why you should have to cut down on your gift giving just to make ends meet.
