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.

One #holidaytradition I love is going to my local production of A Christmas Carol each year! Got second row seats this time!

Read this one back in July and really enjoyed it!

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.

Found this little Lego kit at a Lego con this summer. My baby girl helped me put it together, because she‘s our resident LEGO expert. A Christmas Carol is my absolute favorite holiday book!

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.

This kids book sounds sweet but also heartbreaking.

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

The last couple of days in NC have been unseasonably warm, so yesterday I took advantage and had an iced peppermint mocha outside on the Starbucks patio. With a book, of course!

This afternoon I made my girls a holiday treat - peppermint bark milkshakes! They both gave their approval and I had a little taste too…very yummy! Link to the recipe is below.

Another #holidaytradition…every year I buy my husband an Irish ornament. Pictured is this year‘s. I can‘t remember exactly when I started that tradition but it‘s been quite a while! He loves to see what I pick out each year. ☘️

Picking up some gift cards for my daughter‘s stockings should be the last of my holiday shopping!

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! 🎄

Yet another one waiting on my kindle!

Really cute second chance at love romance set in the Scottish Highlands! Probably could‘ve been a bit shorter, but it did also tackle some heavier topics in a well done way.

Love this list! It‘s literally impossible to pick just 3 faves, so this is a list of my holiday “must listen on repeat” songs! I adore many others, of course, but these are absolute favorites.

This is a collection of 3 holiday romances and like many others just like it, it‘s sitting in my kindle waiting to be read. 😂

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.

Where are all my “Die Hard is a Christmas movie” people? 🤣
And Santa is covering up the bad word because he didn‘t want to offend anyone.
