Having Celiac disease is hard during the Christmas season.

This is the typical conversation:

Me: Yum! This looks so good.

Second cousin: Oops, like the rest of the family I forgot you had Celiac disease.

Me: Aw man, guess I’ll just sit here with my mashed potatoes and NO gravy.

Family:

*just kidding, my family is pretty good but sometimes I do it find it hard.
