HO HO HO y’all!!!

I just love saying that ……. teehee …… It’s only sounds special this time of year …… even though I have to admit …… I would love saying it throughout the year but I am sure some people would look at me as if I am a little off my rocker ……. well if the shoe fits …… Ha!

Seriously …… tis the season …..

• Be Merry and Bright …… in all things you do
• Be Joyful
• Deck your Halls ….. make your home warm & cozy
• Indulge in holiday baking
• Listen to Christmas music, every day!
• Hug your family just a little tighter this season
• Be Kind ……. in all things you do
• Read a holiday book
• Share some holiday cocktails with your best friend
• Buy a new holiday sweater for your four-legged family member

I tried a new Holiday Sangria recipe this week …… oh my …. quite yummy ….. and so easy!  Start with a bottle of red wine,  slice pears, oranges, lime and lemons (pomegranate seeds are optional) but very nice to add. Add ginger ale, a little brandy a few splashes of agave nectar and pour over ice ……..omg …… you will be in love! Now sit with your love one, partner, friend or furry four-legged buddy, put your feet up, listen to Christmas music ……. ahhhhhhhh.  Enjoy!!

As the countdown continues toward Christmas day,  I thought I would share some tips to keep you Merry and Bright! ⭐️

• Stay active –  take a brisk walk everyday or be sure to go to the gym if you belong to one
• Yes,  it’s the time for holiday baking however it is also really a good time to add a few healthy/low-fat recipes too!
• Stay organized.  Put things away. Have a place for coats, boots, toys, etc
• Make time to de-stress and just relax (hot baths, meditate, reading your affirmations)
• It is flu season, wash your hands especially after being out shopping, eating or running errands
• At holiday parties, alternate between water and your cocktail
• Most of all …… embrace the season. Don’t avoid the cold weather, go out to look at neighborhood Christmas lights, go to a sporting event or holiday concert

Most importantly, Be Merry and Bright! ⭐️

Stay positive, be kind and give thanks. Life is a blessing and there are more to come!

Riley and I send you love and kindness and we’d love to hear from y’all, Woof Woof! ??
