Twas the night...

Twas 16 days before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a kitty.
The stockings were hung
By the cookbooks with care
In hopes that my husband would soon be there!

It's almost Christmas! We've been making our home cozy and warm by simmering apple cider and mulling spices. It fills the house with such a scrumptious holiday scent! I absolutely LOVE the holidays (and not only because it's my birthday too...but that might be part of it!)

This is how I do hot cider:
Buy a bottle of apple cider or juice.
Buy a jar of mulling spices.
Simmer a little cider with a bit of mulling spices.
I know, its like rocket science...which means Katherine the rocket scientist can totally do it!

DUDE. I had to renew my license in PERSON this year. Ya. Like this christmas baby needed another thing to be bitter about? Stand in line @ the DMV in December mom + dad, before you decide to birth someone the day after christmas. Ugh.
