So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Smoked Salmon Gift Basket Are Great Gifts

By Sherry Shantel

For the holidays, it's likely that you're planning on sending gift baskets to at least some of your friends. They're a great, fast option to give them what they want, without spending a lot of money. But this year, instead of sending the same old English muffin basket, why don't you surprise them?

A smoked salmon gift basket is an excellent way to impress everyone who receives it. An upscale treat, it's a great breakfast for a holiday morning. But salmon and all of the food that goes with it can be quite expensive, and take precious time out of your schedule to gather.

Still, wouldn't it be lovely to start your holiday morning with a table stacked high with bagels, cream cheese, capers, and best of all, high quality smoked salmon? How about any of the other high end products that one can enjoy with a delicious bagel and lox? It's a tasty and upscale meal that's sure to impress.

I know that this sounds good, but it does leave the question of how to pull it all off. With a smoked salmon gift basket, of course. It's a must have Christmas gift, better than cookies or popcorn. And there are many different options for customization. Salmon, of course, is the staple, but there are many other pieces to the basket for you to choose, tailored to the likes and dislikes of anyone.

First off, you get to choose which salmon best suits your needs. You can go with the classic Alaskan smoked salmon, delicious and colorful. Or if you're into natural products, natural smoked salmon is a must have. And who's the say you can send both, so that everyone can pick their favorite?

And then there is the choice of bagel. Do you like a wheat or white bagel? How about whole grain? You can chose the bagel that best matches the salmon that you've chosen, and your personal tastes. And the choices don't end there.

How about the cream cheese, which is essential to an excellent smoked salmon gift basket. If your friends are health concious, go with low fat. If not, classic, regular cream cheese is a great option. And if you're feeling the need for some added flair, whipped and flavored cream cheese is a tasty treat. Capers also add an unexpected kick to your salmon.

When it comes time to choose your holiday gift basket this year, don't forget smoked salmon. A smoked salmon gift basket, with all the products it can include, will be an exciting and unexpected surprise for your friends and family, and a tasty treat for everyone!
