Gluten Free for the Christmas Holiday's

It is that time of the year.  I may be Jewish, but I do feel the holiday spirit.  Especially in Edmonton when one thing is certain, there will be snow on the ground when Christmas rolls around.

I try to collect as many gluten free holiday tips as possible or at least a gluten free recipe or two from other bloggers.  Things have been pretty busy so far, so I have not collected much, but I wanted to get out a holiday post as soon as possible.

I do have a couple holiday gifts ideas to bring to a Chanukah or Christmas party.  You can pick up quite the unique selection of gluten free products at Winners or Home Sense.  They have a lot of chocolates, cookie and cake mixes, and gluten free cookies and snacks.  These products are great for building a gift basket.  You can also probably get some great baking utensils to add to the basket, and even buy the basket from Winners or Home Sense.  Otherwise, I would recommend a trip to Dollarama where you can definitely get a snazy basket and ribbons/wrappers for really cheap.
