Mmm...A warm cup of cocoa with peppermint marshmallows. Have you discovered peppermint marshmallows yet? They really amp up the hot cocoa experience! (Have I ever told you how MUCH I love sipping out of my red Fiesta mugs? Love.)
Ooh! Christmas Cheer: A Linky party full of appetizers!!! My favorites? Well, at least in the pictures--Jalapeno popper dip, Crack bread, Emily's party bread, and cream cheese and crab wontons. I'm seeing a theme here, and it's name is CHEESE.
And how about some more Christmas party inspiration? A Linky party of desserts!! Oh yes--come on, inspiration, show me what to make! Life in Grace
Okay, STOP THE PRESSES. This crockpot hot chocolate should be a mandatory accoutrement at all homes on Christmas day. (Did I just say "accoutrement"? Hmm, weird.)

The Five Things I Learned from George Bailey made me smile, and sigh several times. I mean, everything about It's a Wonderful Life makes me smile...but these 5 things make me smile even more.

BAM. That's the sound of an AMAZING IDEA hitting me in the head. Wow. I realize this isn't Christmasy, but I just couldn't resist linking it up. If you need a resume, READ THIS. It makes me want to re-write my resume...even though the only job I'm hoping for right now is Oil Heiress. Jon Acuff
This is such a cool idea for a live concert! And--bonus!!!--Josh Wilson happens to be one of my FAVORITE musicians!
How about some Christmas present wrapping music? No, no, no...not RAP music...WRAPPING music.

Happy weekend, good people. See you on Monday!
Speaking of white elephant gifts...what's the WORST/BEST one you've ever received??
