As Advent and Christmas season is among us, I thought I'd share my thoughts and joys via blog with different themes throughout the month. This is my absolute favorite time of the year, for a variety of reasons. 1. The temperatures start to get amazing in Tucon. 30-40's at night. 60's during the day. Cool enough for tights, leggings, and sweaters. Warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. 2. I adore Christmas music, decorations, lights, garland, and everything glistening. 3. The food! The drink! An excuse to spend every weekend baking something new. Sipping Christmas themed cocktails or delicious red wine. Gingerbread, peppermints, fudge.....ahhhh So for post #1, I share my favorite: The fireplace. Ryan and I have lived in 4 houses, and 2 apartments - and this is our 1st with a fireplace! I have dreamt of decorating a mantle for years - so am very pleased we get that in this home. Our fireplace was converted into a double-sided fireplace,
