I'm currently enjoying one* of these. . .

. . .it's probably not a good idea because I'm not too good at drinking - but I fancied a hot toddy to warm the cockles of my heart** (which is feeling rather sad and dejected) (the children have been with XCH since Friday and are not coming back until Wednesday - and then, only two of them). . .
.
*not a whole bottle, just a splash with some warm spiced apple juice:

**it's kinda doing the trick!

anyhow, I've managed to keep myself from splurging my sadness all over the keyboard recently and now, having wrapped all the presents, I need to make the crackers - so I'll leave you in peace a little longer. . .

but you are in my thoughts

and that's heartwarming

Make the crackers?

also...

I must find some of this Pims to try for myself. I'm intrigued.

I, Like The View said...

yeah, make the crackers - shop bought ones have the most tedious and predictable "gifts" inside. . . and no chocolate

!

I kinda cheated tho, bought "fill your own" crackers: they come with the snap and the motto and the paper hat and you just put your own gift in)(so I did)(and some chocolate)(and a sparkler in each)(and some surprise glittery stars)(ho ho ho)

and btw, it's Pimms, double M - don't want you purchasing the wrong beverage now, do we

I, Like The View said...

(going to decorate the crackers now - brown paper is just not Christmasy enough)

Mel said...

Mel said...

hey! I'm onto the coffee now. . . and, do you know what, warm spicey apple juice is just as good!!!

(-:

and the custom filled crackers are stuffed to the gills (not that crackers have gills) and all the glittery stary twinkly things have fallen all over the floor

oops!

(I found my collection of Mrs Grossman's stickers the other day - so that's how I decorated the outsides!)

I'm ogff shortly, so let me take this moment to wish you a peaceful Christmas, and a joyful new year.

Mel said...

Dave is SANTA!!!!! :-)

Go figure...

Onward into the day with glittery stuff on the floor, I say!

And yaknow, on occasion I'll do a hot apple cider with a cinnamon stick (cuz it's seasonal and it makes me feel happy!). But never, EVER would it take place of whitecup coffee!
Just sayin'....LOL
