A week from today is Christmas. It’s been so nice here that, honestly, it hasn’t felt much like Christmas to me. I’m behind on my Christmas shopping as well—but I usually am. I enjoy getting people gifts, but I don’t like having to come up with so many gifts all by a specific time. I prefer to stumble across things I think someone might like and just give them spontaneously. C’est la vie.
I’ve had a bit of a cold the last couple of days, so today’s Strands puzzle feels pretty on-point. Let’s solve it!

### How To Play Strands
Strands is the newest game in the New York Times’ collection of puzzle games. It’s a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day, you’re given a new theme and tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme—including a spangram that spans two sides of the board.

### Today’s Strands Breakdown
Once again, this was a pretty straightforward Strands, especially if you’ve used these various *immune boosters* in the past (which I have).
Of course, GARLIC goes into most savory dishes I make, and HONEY and LEMON go nicely in a steaming mug of tea. ELDERBERRY isn’t something I normally use, but it’s common in teas and supplements. TURMERIC is another great spice you can add to lots of dishes. It’s good, and good for you.
