Who can be stressed with this kind of comfort food? Christmas Tortellini Soup. Bacon, Spinach, and cheese-filled pasta all in one bowl?! Come on. And for dessert, the often sought after, but seldom achieved, perfect cup of hot chocolate, complete with mini marshmallows and whipped cream.


I'm trying to remind myself - as I often try to remind myself - to live in the moment, to appreciate the little things, to thank God for each and every gift... from the warm food to the cool whipped cream. And oh those mugs; how I still love those striped mugs. Somehow, it all works.
