It’s official. In this country, we will offer any item to score a Christmas sale. Could be tacky. Unneeded. Even creepy.
Last week, I received a flyer in the mail from Cost Plus World Market advertising Santa Pants filled with Yogurt-Covered Pretzels.
Um, okay.
So it’s somehow appropriate to give someone a gift in which they must put their hand down Santa’s red trousers in order to pull out a sweet treat?
My friends, when we’ve stooped to feeling up Old St. Nick, Christmas has gone much, much too far.

December 18 − 24 is Gluten-free Baking Week so break out the rice flour and whip up something that won’t taste nearly as good as the real thing. (My apologies to the gluten-intolerant among us, but I’ve tasted bread made with spelt and all I can say is…really??)
