The Day Before Christmas Eve

 Hello Everyone!

It's freezing here in South Carolina right now! Honestly I'm not used to this type of cold weather in December let alone for Christmas. What better way to warm up than a nice cup of hot chocolate? Over the years I've shared recipes for hot chocolate. Some of those recipes have been homemade and others have been instant. Drinking hot chocolate around Christmas is one my favorite things to do. You can have a cup on Christmas Eve or drink a cup on Christmas morning etc. The weather outside right now is freezing so it's the perfect time for this delicious drink.

I remember a few years ago many of you left so many kind comments on my gift wrapping skills. If I'm being honest I actually hate wrapping gifts lol. I'm a gift bag giver all day, but presents looks so pretty gift wrapped.

I mentioned that I'm not doing a lot for Christmas and I wasn't buying anymore gift wrap. Some of the gifts will be displayed openly around the tree on Christmas morning lol.

My hope is to get a few photos taken for my birthday so that means I have to do my hair and makeup. Let's see if this year I will take my birthday photos. December 23rd is always busy because I like to take it easy for Christmas Eve and My Birthday/Christmas Day. I still can't believe my birthday/Christmas is in 2 days!

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and birthday Pilar! It is super cold outside. The wind kept us up most of the night last night! I haven't had hot chocolate in a very long time. That is a great idea to enjoy some over the holiday and since we have cocoa in the house I may do so too. Yum!

Happy Early Birthday Pilar! I think it's a great idea that you get things done before Christmas Eve so you can truly enjoy the holidays and your birthday! A cup of hot cocoa would be good right now since most of the United States are freezing right now!

Hot chocolate is a nice hot drink at Christmas. My son sometimes makes white hot chocolate and adds it to his coffee. Your Christmas tree with the white bulbs is so pretty, Pilar. And I love those red packages. Red at Christmas is my favorite. Enjoy your hot chocolate! Reddi-Wip really adds something extra. : )
