Happy Holidays

Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years – what; already?

Well here we go again. The holiday season is always a good time to reflect on our blessings and seek out ways to make life better for ourselves and those around us.

During this holiday season instead of blogging or vlogging, I will be glögging. For those unfamiliar, it’s the ultimate winter warmer – a Scandinavian-inspired mulled wine from California with German roots. It’s a spiced wine blend of half dry red wine and half port intermingled with spices of cinnamon, cardamom and orange peel. You just pour it into a saucepan and warm over medium-low heat until hot but not simmering, about 5 minutes. Add sliced orange, some fresh cranberries, a few cloves and a cinnamon stick (but you don’t have to).

I’m obviously craving warmth. The warmth of the sun, the warmth of cozy PJ’s, the warmth of a cup of hot tea or glögg. Good food, good company, good movies, my dog and a couple days by the ocean. A change of scenery from spending time in the Desert. Nothing to complain about. No major resolutions.
