For me its Sherry Trifle, an Auntie of mine used to make it and she didn,t drink so she had no concept of how much she was putting in.. !! no one since can make it quite the same. another treat we only buy at Christmas is Ginger Cordial. And my Dad had to have Cranberry sauce with his dinner, but for me its like putting jam on yer plate.

I'm not so much into treats, but I do love the availability of certain fruits this time of the year: clementines, persimmons, kiwi, etc. :) 

Ginger Cordial like you add to water? That sounds tasty to me.

Gingerbread loaf, peanut butter fudge, white fantasy fudge w candied fruits, pizzelle, pfefferneusse, peppermint pretzels. Just bought 5 lbs of peppermint jelly beard :)

Also lots of different cheese.

Yep just add water as much or as little, also very nice as a punch.

Why are we NOT to have much sweets?  

I was never brought up on them-But have been rather interested in them.......  Now time to take my salt pills....... :-(   ... ugh-ecky !!!!!!!!!! cross-eyed me.. 

Marcie did know one say, if an ostomate has sweets we give of a very sweet scent and people start to follow you around !!!!!!!

Ps ye do know I am kiddin.

Felicity I'm not sure what a couple of those are like the pizzelle and the pfefferneusse ? Eric those are treats to you and that's what matters we all have ones we like .

John maybe you should take over making the Sherry Trifle just close your eyes and add the Sherry then you won't have any idea how much you are putting in either ! Haha . I am like you Dad I like the cranberry sauce too . I know people who a turkey n cranberry sauce sandwhich that I don't do ! Lol .

Marcie that is the impression I was under was that we should watch our sugar . Although I'm not very good at doing that . Maybe some fudge and sweets would help you with the weight .... And Marcie be patient I am talking to Santa for ya n the trip to Arizona but I think you might be right about Santa being a woman . I was told Santa was shopping and couldn't be reached !!! :-) :-)

Shhhhhhhsh, don't tell my endocrinologist,  but sometimes at this time of year I just have to cheat a bit. Being type 1 diabetic, I slip in the occasional piece of almond Rica or a bit of fudge,  then offset it with a couple of extra units of humalog insulin.  Like I said, shhhhsh, don't tell not a good thing to do, and it takes another injection, but then I give pain free injections!! Ha!!

John, never stopped the boys.............. But my Dad did!!!! :-)

Barbara I know nothing !!! Lol

Oh u mean Ostomate?  Still getting the looks..  But I have my sun glass's on....... 

Robert, Yes the shopping I don't mind-it is the LONG lines to get out of there!! ANd I mostly shopping on line.. Sons getting money mostly anyways-just something under the tree. I have to get something for my TWO nurses.. I mean I see them 3 x a week for the past 3 years..Everything is marked up!! I found a "kissing ball" that is about 10  round for 10 bucks tho.. Kinda cute.  One wont have a tree in her house. (to messy/work)and the other ?  She has 2 tress last year..  And My Tom, don't buy me clothes, don't buy me anything, don't want anyone over, don't buy me anything for the SUV,  AND remember don't buy me anything- DONT GET ME ANYTHING!! and so on...  lottery ticket? :-)

Whew!! Thanks Robert it's nice to know there is somebody that's got my back during this time of the year.

Always got your back Barb!!! You know your body -  if u can take a nip or two at candy or a shot of something.. And u now how to fix it..

Its hard to want something and it is there and u cant have it.. Like a new car??? :-)

Felicity, I hope you have a GOOD tooth bush !!!!!!!!!!!!  You know I was in dental, So you and EVERY ONE brush your teeth well this holiday season if u know what is best for you !!! Ask for  a new tooth brush from the WOMAN Santa, :-)  I have seen some bad gums in my days!! You don't want to go there!!!            not sweet !!!!!!!!!  

I love Egg Nog this time of year .i am a regular Glazed donut eater .  Not really into the other things . 

Now their is some thing I have never had, Egg Nog!

Hey John

Oh yes glazed gravy rings are one of my favorite !!! I never had egg nog either till few years ago now we are sure to get it every year . There is a place couple hours from here called Broguiere's  that makes it and ships  it out only for Xmas . Stores actually run out comes in a glass bottle like old times . Good just as it is don't even have to kick it up !

There u r Robert.... Never told me what r gravy rings............ ?????????????

Wonder how Felicity is doing today?? Hopefully  not another delay of another infection!

I have been busy checking out my problems on internet.  and taking down notes/questions for the Dr. tomorrow.. BE prepared I always say-- kinda looks scary....... :-(
