What’s Your Holiday Plans This Year?

November 4th, 2009

The holidays are extremely stressful for me so I don’t cook the meal. I don’t like being so exhausted I cannot walk across the room at times. I cannot handle the stress of the cooking, cleaning and just dealing with people in general. We usually take a couple of dishes for the holiday. This year I’m going to bring some ice cream cookies. I’d like to take eggnog ice cream for the Thanksgiving and chocolate cherry ice cream for Christmas. My ice cream scoop broke a year ago and I’ve not replaced it. I’ve been using a big tablespoon and that gets old really quick. I’m going to purchase two Kitchen Scoops so I can save one for myself and give the other one to the holiday host. I’m looking forward to having turkey and all the goodies with it. My favorite food for thanksgiving besides turkey is stuffing and cranberry sauce. I drink cranberry juice like it’s going out of style.

    My family had 2 people that made holidays happen, those memories are priceless to me. You know the type, they would “Tell” you what to bring & what time they expected you to be there. Those days are gone now. All us kids have gotten married moved away. I married a military man, so holidays were never “Normal” for my family. We were always far away from home, & my husband was often gone on deployments, so holidays had a new meaning for us.

    Now, my kids are 18, & 20 despite my Lupus flares, we make every effort for holiday dinners. We make it a family thing, everyone has their dish they make. It’s really nice, & has become less stressful, & more of a fun day to actually look forward to. I have an office chair with rollers, I sit at the table to mix and prepare, & roll to the stove to cook. lol Everytime Lupus throws me a curve, I am there throwing it right back. I refuse to let it ruin anything for me. I am an Irish decedent with red hair, there is no way Lupus will take who I am. Granted I am exhausted when the day is done, but its always well worth it.

    I would have to say my favorites would be sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, corn, & noodles.

    I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with lessened Lupus symptoms.
