Emily's First Thanksgiving Dinner....

It was 5:40 AM and Emily Wurmnest awake in her bed.
She was going over all of the lists she had made in her head.
Would everything go perfect? Would everything go just right?
She was thinking about the dinner she would be hosting that night.
Thanksgiving dinner came and went without a hitch.
She was proud of her work without one single glitch!

Yes... this was the first year I got to host Thanksgiving dinner. It went perfect and was actually a lot of fun to prepare for. I can't believe how quick it went by! I can't believe my timing even went good. That was my biggest worry. But everything is now over .

Now it's time for Christmas and I will be including a lot of recipes for cold winter nights as well as some of my holiday baking recipes! For starters I want to share an easy recipe for a HOT (literally) item this year in many popular food chains. Peppermint Hot Chocolate!
