Making the most of the holiday season while trimming the tree. Let’s look at a few ways
to make this holiday the best yet!
This year is definitely like no other, with Covid looming overhead, gatherings cancelled, parties postponed, it’s the ideal time to gather around the tree. The guest list may be much smaller than expected for your gathering but you can make this a special time for you and your loved ones. Let’s look at a few ways to make this holiday the best yet!
Marshmallow and Peppermint
Everyone loves hot cocoa! This year step up your game a little by offering a variety of goodies for that warm chocolatey goodness. Peppermint sticks can serve as a stir stick and add that pop of peppermint. Marshmallows, whipped cream, sprinkles or sugar rimmed mugs can take a plain
ole cup of cocoa and turn it into a gourmet experience.There are many options to choose such as www.etsy.com for all things handmade with love. When the kids settle down for the evening, sit with your special someone by the tree with the warm glow of lights and add your favorite liquore to add a little extra heat.
Colors Galore
Bring the joy of the season inside this year with a colorful scheme with your holiday decorations. You may choose a traditional palette like red and gold or blue and silver or something a little more unconventional like oranges with copper or soft pinks and rose gold. Whatever color scheme you choose, let it say something about you! Coordinating with your wall color and decor is always a good idea, this doesn’t mean you can’t use a wide variety of color, this simply means you don’t want to mix colors that give your face that confused look. First take a look at your overall color scheme, is it warm or cool? This will help you choose color with the correct undertone. Let yourself have fun!
Turkey and all the Stuffing
Food is always an important part of gatherings. Chestnuts roasting in the oven or on the grill,
the ham is cooking, corn pudding is set. Pies cooling in the kitchen and little fingers trying to pull a piece of crust. These are some of the warmest memories of the holiday season that each and every one of us has that makes this time of the year so very special. Sharing a meal is more than the food. It is the tradition each and every family has handed down for generations. These are some of the things that make a house a home.
This year may look a little different for us but there are so many ways to celebrate.
