Christmas time is here again....YUM!

How do you know it's Christmas? What signs tell your brain that it's time to feel that Christmas joy?

Five things that make me feel Christmassy:

Lying in the sun. Forget jack frost, it's sunburn that nips at my nose at Christmas.

Flowers. My Grandma's peonies, roses and Christmas lilies come out in December. Filling the house with vases full of random flowers is part of our Christmas decorations.

Old decorations. I bet everyone feels this way when they see a hideous decoration from their childhood. And yes, they're always hideous but their nostalgic attributes outweigh that fact.


Christmas songs. We always listen to Glen Campbell's Christmas album. But we call him Den Dambell because my big sister couldn't pronounce his name when she was little.

The food. Pavalova, speculaas, Christmas mince pies, our Christmas spicy nibble, salads, fresh veggies, fruit cake, stollen, gingerbread houses. - All gluten-free of course! YUM!

I hope to post about all the above foods, I want to share the gluten-free Christmas joy with you.

What things show you that it's Christmastime? What makes you feel like Christmas?

The hideous Christmas decorations? Yes definitely. I have some that my kids made at pre school so very many years ago and they come out every year a bit more squashed. I might think of throwing them out this year. It I have the heart to do that.
Can't wait to see your Christmas recipes. Your mince tarts look good.
