CHRISTMAS LATTE

It's fitting this week
    my morning coffee should be festive . . . 

I'll have Kaldi's Coffee
fix a holiday latte.

After all,  in 5 days
it's Christmas!

(Maybe with a slice of pumpkin pie.)

IT'S CHRISTMAS COOKIE TIME

One of the many pleasures about
this time of the year are
Christmas cookies!
(Mmmmm.)

Plain ones, fancy ones,
ones your grandma used to make,
ones from the "old country,"
ones from the bakery,
    or the very best ones of all . . . 

the ones you make at home,
from scratch! 

(Go find that recipe, right now.)

DO YOU BELIEVE?

Christmas is fast approaching.

  Santa is checking his list . . . 
and "checking it twice."

"To see if you've been
naughty or nice." 

 Well ? ? ? ?

POINSETTIAS
THE CHRISTMAS FLOWER

Native to Mexico,
the poinsettia is also known as
"the Christmas flower."

Propagated to bloom this time of the year,
poinsettias are widely available
during the holiday season.

Best known in shades of red,
varieties are also available in white and pink,
with some variegated leaves in
white-and-red.

Now, to pick out the perfect one
    to take home . . .

MAKING CHRISTMAS BIGGER

. . . and much more fun!

Drive around the neighborhood,
and you'll see something new this year
in holiday yard decorations:

Huge, inflatable, blow up displays.

What fun!
