'We had our breakfasts – whatever happens in a house, robbery or migraine, it doesn't matter, you must have your breakfast.' – The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

I was thinking of ten migraine-friendly treats for the holiday season. These ones fit within my particular list of allergies/known triggers, but you may have to adapt it for your own needs.

1. Eat your cereal with eggnog.
2. Sit by the fire and talk with a friend.
3. Give someone else's child an unexpected (non-electronic) gift and watch them open it.
4. Read a picture book with a small child.
5. Try on your stockings (the ones you hang for Santa).
6. Go for a walk somewhere where there are no shops.
7. Tie a ribbon on your cat's tail (it's a game, they'll chase it, it's cute). If you have a dog, tie a ribbon on their collar and take them on your walk (number 7), teach the dog to strut.
8. Do a book exchange with a friend – choose three books to borrow from their shelf, and they choose three from your shelf (not really holiday specific, but you might have more time to read if you're on forced leave until January).
9. Decorate a tree or bush in your yard or neighbourhood – in secret, at night.
10. Sing Christmas carols in the shower.

If you have other ideas that you've tried or want to try, please share.
