Today was pretty cold in NC, so I stayed in with comfy new pjs and blankets, did some reading, holiday watching, and cross stitching! I have no regrets.

I love a margarita, it‘s my favorite cocktail, and I do love to try seasonal twists. This year, it‘s the Candy Cane margarita, which I‘m enjoying while watching a Christmas movie with my hubby! The link is for several peppermint cocktails, so lots of good options.

I‘ve never had Christmas Crack before even though I‘ve always wanted to try it, so today I remedied that. Had to find a gluten free recipe though, and it turned out great! Link to recipe below.

I liked the story and the cast of characters is great! However, the cover and blurb are misleading, as about 75% of the book takes place in autumn. So, that was disappointing, since I was expecting something more Christmas-y.

Okay, the no-bake cookies and the haystacks took me back to my childhood! So many delicious cookies on the list, but I‘m going to name 3 I‘ve never tried but would like to:
Peppermint pecan snowballs
Gingerbread oatmeal
Candy cane kiss sugar cookies

Want to play? @peanutnine @BookmarkTavern @TEArificbooks 😊

peanutnine I'm allergic to most sweets so my experience with cookies is limited. There were 11 on the list that I've helped bake though! 4d

A #holidaytradition of ours - the girls decorate the tree each year. When they were smaller, my husband would assist reaching the top of the tree, but that‘s no longer an issue. I can‘t believe my babies are so big! 🎄

Would be a great Hallmark movie! Nothing new - a big city businesswoman heads to a small town to close down a local company, but instead falls in love with the town and the people. She catches feelings for a local man, then finds out some ugly truths about the conglomerate she works for, and needs to figure out what‘s most important to her.
