Christmas Countdown: Christmas beverages

What is your Christmas beverage of choice? For me it's always hot coco, because I find it very comporting and calming. And I always visit my favorite tea house/ tea room, to see what new festive teas they invented!

Here are a few videos on how to make a perfect cup of good cheer, some have alcohol included, so if you are under age you can make this with your parents, if they'll let you, or by yourself if you only take a few little sips. OK, here we go!

#1 Mulled Wine (with a twist)

#2 Dulce De Leche

#3 Spiced Pomegranate Infused Gin

#4 Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolate

Other great hot Christmas drinks for your taste:

Hot Buttered Rum
Irish Coffee
Old Fashioned Eggnog

And a few more pictures, that will convince you to get up and make yourself something delicious!

Have fun drinking one of these Christmas beverages.

See you soon!

Christmas Countdown: Christmas Short Animations

Hello!

How did you spend this day? My family and I visited my Grandma and greeted the carolers there. It is a lovely tradition, that I very much loved when I was a little kid. So, this is the most beautiful part of my Christmas eve's eve. :D

I decided to share a couple more Christmas short films with you.

The first one is "The story of Pines" by Alison Sudol (lead singer of A Fine Frenzy). This one is perfect for every winter night and for all the times you are feeling lost, less brave and, well, pinning.

The Story of Pines

Another favorite of mine is "The Gift of the Night Fury", it is the follow-up for How to Train Your Dragon, an animated movie that will put a huge smile on your face.

Gift of the Night Fury

And of course, the previous two that I have posted a few days ago:

The Night before Christmas from Tom and Jerry

The Snowman (1982)

I hope you will enjoy watching all these short films. There are many more great ones out there to help you get into the Christmas spirit!

See you soon!

Christmas Countdown: Wintery Images

Hello there!

Winter has arrived, but without the snow it feels like a very late and cold autumn. Therefore, I have picked a few images to help you imagine a white winter.

There!
Sorry for the pretty large selection of photos, but they brought me so much joy I couldn't help myself not sharing them.

See you tomorrow!
