It’s here! That magical day where many of us slow down for a moment, enjoy a warm fire, delicious food and the company of family and friends. This is my idea of the perfect Christmas day, and I wish for you, whatever your heart desires on this special day.

I love to cook, bake, decorate, wrap gifts and all the crazy preparation that goes along with the holiday. But for me, all that preparation is a means to a relaxing, stress-free December 25^th. I am blessed to have family and friends from far and near, come to my home and continue the traditions we have created over the years. Everyone chips in to help keep wood on the fire, our drink glasses full and our taste buds excited.

Whatever you are doing today, wherever you are, and whomever you’re with, may it be a happy day filled with warmth and love. Merry Christmas!
