I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I know we did. Our son and his family, who live in NJ, Skyped us Christmas morning, and we got to see the grands open their presents. What fun!
Later in the afternoon, Hubby and I went to my aunt's house for a big supper with all the cousins and their spouses.
My aunt always makes homemade egg nog. Whoo! Hoo! Between the egg nog and the rum balls one of the cousins made, we didn't dare breath anywhere near the candles. :)
There isn't much new going on around the house right now. We don't take down our decorations til after the New Year, so there's nothing new to show you. It's so cold and windy today, all I want to do is curl up on the sofa with a cozy throw and something warm to drink.
Well, DUH! I'd never heard of a Moscow Mule. I thought I'd make one, but after looking up the recipe, I decided there was no way I was making an ice cold drink in this weather. So, I decided to fill my mug with Chai latte...hot Chai latte.
You can also make it from scratch. Here's a link for the recipe.
Of course, I'm not compensated in any way for mentioning this brand.
I'll be by to visit everyone to see what you're doing for the New Year.
If it's cold like it is today, I might just have another latte, and watch the ball drop on TV.
Hugs,
Babs

That looks wonderful, Babs!
The copper mugs are beautiful, and that drink is new to me too. A hot cup of tea sounds good. Cold here too.
Stay warm and enjoy the leisure time.
Hi Babs, We leave our decorations up to enjoy too. Cold and windy here and a great evening for your hot drink and fruit cake. Love the copper mugs. Best wishes for a fabulous New Year.......

That plate looks so pretty Babs and I love the copper mugs!! Happy New Year friend!
Looks so warm and wonderful. My hubby is the fruitcake person in our house. I will eat it, but he will eat ALL of it! :) I baked two during the Christmas holidays, and also made some fruitcake cookies, and bought several small ones for him as well. It's his absolute favorite cake. Enjoy your evening!
That looks good and yes, this is stay inside weather. There was snow mixed int the rain when I left the movie in Suwanee.
Good Afternoon Babs, I love Chai, I was introduced to this drink when I visited India....and yes please, I will always accept a piece of fruit cake, being English, we love it over here. Have a lovely day, Best Wishes Daphne
I love fruitcake!! Not sure what all the hoopla about it - but Mom use to pour rum on it, then wrap it in one of her kitchen towels, put it in a bag and then in the refrigerator! It would be gone by the end of the night!!
Those copper mugs are so pretty! It does make whatever you drink in them better, doesn't it? It was sooooo cold and awful yesterday. We went out to eat and then to the grocery store and braved the elements. It was blowing sleet and felt like a snow storm was near. It was a welcome sight to see the sun shining again this morning!
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!! It ate my comment!!!! You know how I tend to ramble on in my comments, so I can't recapture it. Suffice it to say, I'm glad you got a chance to watch the grandchildren open gifts, your mugs are cool, and Happy New Year!!!!!!!
Hi Babs, I had not thought of using the whipped cream. That is a great idea. I really love the chai latte but chai tea not so much. I am an enormous coffee drinker. Happy New Year, Olive
Babs,
Thanks so much, dear friend!!!
Have a Happy New year blessed with health and prosperity!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Looks like the perfect way to spend a post Christmas day.

Happy New Year!

Gorgeous copper mugs! I'm with you - keep it warm and cozy at this time of year. I love Chai flavored tea! I'll pass on the fruit cake :)
Babs, I have enjoyed our visits this year and look forward to next year.
Your gift of copper mugs was great, they look great and the drinks sound scrumptious. Enjoy your Christmas decor. I certainly missed putting up mine.
We just got in from Illinois. Got caught up in the snow storm, so glad to be home.
Happy New Year! Ginger
I'll take the late, and watch you eat the pound cake! Happy New Year!
Happy 2013, Babs! Not a nog or fruitcake gal, but I'll fill hat copper mg with something non alcoholic and enjoy it!
I keep trying different Chai teas, but haven't found one I like (I know, I must be the only person on the planet who doesn't like Chai tea), but maybe if I had it in a beautiful copper mug.....hmmmm? Cozy up, lady, and enjoy!
