Hard Bonus: Incorporate a gift or gifts that have special meaning to you or someone you care about
Easy Bonus: Mention a Christmas or holiday cookie
Aside from having a warm house to live in, Christmas Comforts (or any holiday comfort) include having good food to eat, especially when it’s cold out, to be able to serve hot meals to warm the body & soul. We can’t do surf & turf, but we can make do with what we have. Holiday meals include cooking the traditional foods on the eve, because that’s when people come over, and then something not so traditional for us, to make it a real treat. Things like tempura, lasagna, shish kabob, sukiyaki, things like that. We only buy things on sale, but figure out ways to make it happen. I guess I’m simple about cookies. Everyone loves chocolate chip & peanut butter cookies, which are great any time of year. Maybe do peanut blossoms to be fancy, but a simple butter cookie (with M&Ms on top) is a real treat since we don’t make them.
Of course, we have our cat, who is elderly & 18, so we’re fortunate to still have her. I think the other cats from her litter are over the rainbow bridge. A nice gift was from my son, who bought me a heart necklace & earrings when his school had a sale, and the kids got to pick things out for others. I’d let him know that he can pick out something for his dad, teacher & assistant, but I was the one he bought for in 2nd grade. I haven’t worn them yet, but I’ll have to at least do the necklace since my ears closed up for the earrings.
Happy Hanukkah, Kwanza, Winter Solstice, Shab-e Yalda, Maidyarem Gahambar, Bodhi Day, Vaikuntha Ekadashi, and more! Stay warm, healthy & at peace with yourself.
