The Nativity
When it comes to Christmas, the most important thing to me is the reason for the season. So when it comes time to decorate, the first things I unpack are my Nativity scenes. I probably own over fifty now. At our home in Port Orchard, every conceivable place is filled with a Nativity scene, even outside! Some are small, some big, and every size in between. I’ve received many Nativity scenes as gifts from family and friends. I guess you could say I’m a collector! When people know you collect things, that’s the first thing they think to gift. So I’ve been blessed many times over with beautiful Nativity scenes. I wanted to share a few of my favorite scenes and why they’re special to me.

Eggnog Cocktail
Cartons of creamy eggnog filling the stores mark the beginning of the Christmas season. You’ll want to stock up to make this creamy, sweet drink on repeat this season! We love making this with creamy Rumchata rum, but any rum can be used. This recipe was inspired from my Christmas book, Jingle All the Way!

The holiday season is upon us and while a lot of us are more than willing to put 2020 in the rear-view mirror there is still a lot for which we can be grateful.
