I am not a grinch I promise, and at the same time, this year - in the midst of perimenopause - Christmas will absolutely look & feel different, and what a gift that is ...
Happy Christmas Jenny, and I resonate with your key points as well with many different symptoms of my chronic thingy.
Instead, I'm blessed with more intimate settings, friends and neighbours of about the same age if not older, gift-giving by gifting them my sourdough focaccia and bagels which are gentle on our blood sugars.
Growing up as a minority in another religion-dominated country, my Christmases were always just with my parents and grandparents. Visits to a couple of aunts/uncles' also small families. So Christmas was always the holiday I was looking forward to as they felt gentler to my sensitive predisposition.
Oh Sekar, how lovely to hear about your Christmases, thank you so much for sharing this. They sound absolutely just right for a sensitive soul and I can relate to that - I think this phase of my life has both been about becoming more sensitive AND realising I have always had a sensitive disposition that I have not honoured until now.
You are indeed blessed with your memories and experiences of Christmases - I am certainly wishing you another lovely one this year too, and yes - with plenty of blood-sugar-friendly breads (this I can 100% relate to! I’ve got myself a sourdough loaf to enjoy this week too!) ❤️
