Oh, the weather outside is frightful, and the kids are so not delightful, since everyone is stressed, order FreshDirect, order FreshDirect, order FreshDirect.
I love the holidays. Love them. I look forward to putting up my Christmas Tree and decorations as soon as I take them down. During the holidays, I am in a constant search of joy. We put together an advent calendar, participate in various activities, bake, cook a mass amount of food, and yell at one another because we’re all stressed out. If yelling and dirty looks aren’t working, a good ole passive aggressive negativity is passed around a plenty.
Does that sound familiar to you?
As much as I love the holidays, they can be stressful. Especially when large families get together. The kitchen is a place of frustration. It’s nice when companies are available to ease any stress. One company I use often during all holidays is FreshDirect. Nobody enjoys going to the grocery store during the holidays. Especially if you live in New York City. Grocery stores are tight and there are long lines. That adds to the holiday stress. With FreshDirect, you can order all the cooking and baking ingredients you need. FreshDirect also sells spirits and wine. One thing that caught my eye this year is FreshDirect also sells kitchen activities. We received a jelly donut activity, and that’s a gift that keeps on giving. The donuts were so tasty that we devoured them before I remembered to take the necessary Instagram photo. I’ve ordered another one. There are a lot of other activities besides the jelly donut making kit.
And for laughs and a yummy treat, the sardine-shaped chocolates from Ile de Re were a hit.
The older I get, the more I want peace during the holidays. Peace and joy are what the holidays should be about. Bringing tension into the holiday season isn’t a great way to achieve peace and joy. This year, I’m seeking peace more than ever before. FreshDirect is there to help me with that by sending ready to cook items and ready to eat foods, and many ways to bring fun back into the season.
If you’re one of those that get angry during the holidays, think about using FreshDirect. A little less off your work plate and more on the dinner plate might be the way to go.
Happy Holidays!
