to get drowned out by some other elitist’s drama and bulls**t and come back claiming “they’ve changed for the better”, when it’s the same donkey painted in clown makeup. These folks will never truly change. They are all spoiled children, throwing their own version of a temper tantrum, in an adult

and over again. They may have all the wealth, influence and power in the world, but you know darn well they’ll never use it on a legitimate counselor, rehabilitator, or psychiatrist. They go to some quack pot “yes man” seminar and call it a night, wait a few years in hopes of their checkered pasts

Don’t make a meal like this right out the gate. Make it fun and flavorful. If you’re unsure about others restrictions, ask them first and meet half way or ask them to supply their own food for the holiday feasts and ask others not to touch it.

If you’re not big on ham or pork, look for turkey bacon to add to your dishes. If you’re not big on meats and poultries, trade it out with baked, herbed fish instead. I could go on, about all the alternatives and the fact you could still jazz it up a bit with herbs, spices and flavor, but still,

If you have intolerances to milk and grains, you can forgo the pastas and stuffings and do herbed rice with a reduction of olive oil, herbs, spices, mirepoix and citrus, and caramelized onions, peppers, garlic, carrots, celery and add it in to your steamed rice to make a rice stuffing alternative.

Instead of the candied yams with marshmallows, you could do honeyed yams, agave spiced yams, or go the more natural route and do apple spiced yams (yams with homemade sugar free full spice apple butter, walnuts and a light drizzle of a honey, maple, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and lemon sauce).

-Lastly, keep in mind that gifts, as well as wants, are a luxury in itself. Not everyone is entitled to haggle the price down if you can not afford it. Plus, not everyone is going to use the gifts you give them (trust me, I’ve seen a fair share of gifts be shipped off to thrift stores and the likes)

-Keep in mind that not every gift you get someone has to be cheap or expensive, that not everyone is going to appreciate or is worth giving a gift for, and not everyone gift needs to be bought. Simpler is better when on a budget.

-If you really need to go to a department store, do your research on what ones are the best in terms of deals and prices if you’re on a budget.

- if you really want to hand make a gift for someone, check out local thrift stores to pick up some clothing to clean up and beautify in to something more special and from the heart. Plus, you may find some good art and crafts supplies in the process too! And the quality of older pieces is better.
