Holiday Traditions

I think its one step from hot chocolate. The Spanish sweetened the traditional South American cocoa drink.

It's in bar form, maybe you break off a piece and drop it in your drink.
If so, it would probably have to be a hot drink.

Edit: Just got an email from a friend in Canada saying they stir a piece into warm milk, and it's very rich.

The "December" cd by George Winston. As many luminarios as humanly possible on both the solstice and Christmas Eve. Star Christmas lights. I buy more strings of star lights each year with the goal of one day having as many of my own stars as the ones in the night sky. Of course, the resulting electric bill might prove a tad expensive, but I'll worry about that when I achieve my goal around Christmas 5012.

2012 marks 50 years of raising and selling Christmas trees. We have folks now coming with their grandkids (!!??) that came with their parents as children. I think I like being out there with the people, watching the kids run around, more than the actual holiday itself.

That sounds like it could be fun if the weather cooperates. Cold is fine, 3 feet of snow, not so much.

An extra plate is great. Load it up with goodies and if nobody shows up, it's mine. Mine, you hear me, all mine. Muhahahahaha.
