Holiday Drinks

I feel like the holidays always brings out the best in people - and people tend to step it up a little once Thanksgiving and black Friday roll into town. Whether it's the weather, an extra splash of color to spice up an otherwise all-black wardrobe, the introduction of boots, snazzy tights or branching out from your everyday coffee order. I mean, seriously...peppermint, gingerbread, and eggnog lattes would really not be quite so exciting were they available 365-days a year.

Reasons I LOVE the holidays...

1. Outdoor Christmas Lights

Every year my mom does a lovely job of decorating the house & I love driving around checking out what everyone else has done, too. Even the Griswold-esk ones.

2. Christmas Decorations

I made a little something for my first Christmas in my new place. Maybe I'll add more next year.

3. Warm, Cozy Sweaters

Duh.

4. Ice Skating

I know you can do it anytime of year, but it just feels so right during the winter.

5. Holiday Drinks

Gingerbread Latte, Peppermint Mocha, Apple Cider... Yum. Christmas in your mouth.

6. Baking

Tons of great spices for naughty treats.

7. Fireplaces, Cozy Blankets, Christmas Movies (Elf is also a favorite) & Pretty Pj's

9. Christmas Music

That's right, I'm that person that actually likes the cheesy tunes. Baby, it's cold outside!

Bahumbug from my little nugget!
