Just call me the Christmas Slack!

Hello! Well, how's that for Holidailies? Sheesh.

We are having a festive December here, despite the continuing complete lack of Christmas trees in our house. I made cookies this weekend! These ginger buttons, but I upped the ginger to three teaspoons instead of just one. Yum!

And last night I went out and sang with the chorus at a retirement community. Afterwards we all went over to the home of one of our members and drank vodka punch. So that was pretty festive! The funniest thing was seeing all of us at a party in our matching red blouses and Christmas scarves. Ha! It's one thing to be dressed alike when we're on stage together, but it's another when we're all standing around eating melted brie on crackers and drinking fruity alcohol!

Something else festive... I wrote a bunch of Christmas cards! More than I expected, because I ran out halfway through and actually had to get more. The new ones are different from the old ones, so be sure to compare with your neighbor!

Here's a holiday tip: Stash Christmas Eve tea. Oh, yum, all ye faithful! I bought it because I love most Stash tea flavors and I thought the box was pretty. The tea is described as "mint and sweet spices." It's great! I think it's spearmint, which was unexpected but very tasty! I love this tea! No, I didn't wait for Christmas Eve. I figured I'd never get through 18 bags of it if I waited until the last minute!

Hmmm... waiting until the last minute. Kind of like the holidailies. Well, I'll try to keep up now!

Giddy up!

I love Stash Christmas Eve tea, too! But I never know where to find it. Where did you buy it??

Stop and Shop! I think it was in the "specials" aisle. In the Middletown store, this is the first aisle after the produce section. On one side they have the juice, and on the other side of the aisle are all the week's specials.

Have you tried the Christmas Morning tea? Is it just black tea or is it something special?

My Stop and Shop is the same--I'll have to look! I haven't tried Christmas Morning, but I think it has spices and stuff in it, too.

I can't imagine why you're so busy. Susie the slacker. Sigh. Oh, wait, tiny boy w/crawling!
