I think that the smells and tastes of childhood Christmases are probably the best memories I have… well… those and the people. There are certain foods that just say ‘Christmas’ like gingerbread and fruit cake and all kinds of cookies.
Food is equal to comfort.
Most women, particularly Southern women know that. There is an old commercial (Pillsbury, I think) that said, “Nothin’ says lovin’ like somethin’ from the oven”. I agree!
Fortunately in this busy world we live in, we no longer have to bake in order to send gifts of food to family and friends at Christmas time.
There are food gift baskets that can be sent and there are baskets in almost every price range and that will appeal to almost every taste. You can send fruit baskets or baskets of cookies and cakes and even pies and delicacies. You can send baskets of gourmet tea to the tea lovers on your list and baskets of gourmet coffee to the coffee lovers.
You can send popcorn and you can send cheeses and smoked meats. Food gift baskets can be small and simple or very large and elaborate. There are baskets that are whole gourmet meals including the wine and the wine glasses available.
Food gift baskets range in price from about $20 to as much as you want to spend. There are baskets for executives and then there are baskets that are crammed with junk food for the junk food junkie. There really is a food gift basket for everybody!
