Our company has grown accustomed to our gluten-free meals, so much now that it’s hardly even noticed. It’s becoming rare at our table to hear “Is this gluten-free?” or “This doesn’t even taste gluten-free!” The change is nice because we can focus on other, sometimes more interesting, topics!
It took some time getting to this place -- where friends and family don’t flinch about my special diet.
Maybe you will want to talk about it -- that is your ‘therapy’ -- but know that all the fussing in the kitchen will eventually subside.

If you’re going out for the holidays, ask in advance for your host's menu. That way you can plan to eat ahead of time, bring you own gluten-free foods, or ask that they accommodate at least some part of the meal for you.
If you’re hosting, you get to call the menu shots. And really, the sky is the limit.
Happy holidays to you and your family!
