Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Me! Me! Me!

I am SOO excited for Christmas!! My favorite part of Christmas for the past couple of years is I work with SANTA!! Yep the big man himself :D I'm his photographer and this year I'm also going to be playing the part of an ELF! I've got ear tips and lots of yummy smelling lotions and sprays (cause elves smell like peppermint and cookies, yes?).

Mum's side of the family always has an ornament exchange too! We figure out a couple of months in advance how many will be participating and everybody makes/buys that many ornaments. Then we get together for lunch and swap! I love spending the afternoon with the family members I only see during the holidays!

And I love going Christmas light "hunting" :P

Basically drive around and look at the pretty lights :D

missnbagels - I must've missed seeing that...do you mean hang the actual tree from the ceiling?!? :blink:

Oh, Christmas light hunting is a big tradition for us, too! I remember my mom taking my brother and me, and now I do it with my kids.

I boil homemade potpourri almost every day during the Christmas season, and it always smells wonderful- cinnamon sticks, orange peels, and a dash of vanilla. I just keep the stove on low, not actually boiling, and add water as needed.

My favorite shopping day, Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) is coming up and I am SO excited!

Chocolate, peppermint, pine trees, pretty lights, Charlie Brown, presents, advent calendars, wreaths, reindeer, stockings, cookies, turkey, ham, pink cheeks and smiles....

What's not to love? :D

Edit: White Christmas, pine cones, snowflakes, Christmas parties, red and green candles, secret Santas...

I love Christmas too, especially now that I have a child. I love the preparation. I go all out. I usually make a large variety of pies, cookies and candy. I also LOVE black Friday shopping. In fact I was browsing black Friday websites a couple minutes ago. :lol: I like to get most of my shopping done that day. I usually start shopping at 5:00am.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
