I am taking part once again in the Stream of Consciousness Saturday posting and our word today is “ma” – either the word itself or a word containing it. I’ve chosen the word “marks” (in bold) as you will see below. Thanks to Linda G. Hill for her weekly SoSC postings
December 1st marks the day that many people bring out the Advent calendars. Filled with a chocolate or some type of goodie, children and adults alike enjoy opening these calendars to find the treat and mark down the days before Christmas.
If you are living with Chronic Pain, I’d like to give you your own Advent calendar. Instead of little treats, here are some ideas for Christmas or Hannukah presents that People with Chronic Pain would really enjoy receiving this year. Without further ado, here are 24 gifts, one for each day leading up to December 25th with links to suggested products on Amazon, to make the buying even easier:

Thank you and remember…
There is always hope
I wish I had some suggestions but I am not creative. I tend to overthink every gift purchase no matter how small. Instead will borrow some of yours. Thank you for sharing, this is excellent.
excellent idea!

Thanks for all the ideas!
Loved your idea of the advent calendar! pinned, tweeted, scheduled on my facebook page
Some lovely ideas here as sometimes if you aren’t suffering from chronic pain you don’t really know what would be useful. Love your advent calendar idea. I’m doing one using my Advent Calendar for ‘My 25 day countdown to a Happy Christmas’.
