I’d say about now, if you’re like me try as you may not to feel stressed with the festive activities, you’re probably feeling a wee bit of it. While I composed my mewsic for this month, I looked for the right songs for the right moment and this playlist I stumbled on by Soothing Relaxation of traditional is purrfect for playing in the background while I collect and refuel for more Christmas fun. Hit place to unwind with me! 😉

One way to relax during the holidays is to enjoy the taste of the season. Photographed below are our chilled glasses of Boiled Custard taken from last December. Some call it Eggnog and I actually use an Eggnog recipe from DD#2’s Little House on the Prairie Cookbook except I cook it. This has been a long tradition at our home that I still primarily keep for us. 

 

 

Do you prefer hot beverages? You might want to check out  Hot beverages on a cold winter’s day where I featured three of our favorites. Also, look for my recipe for Mulled Apple Cider. Bottoms up carefully please, don’t want you to burn your tongue! 😉

While on vacation, we didn’t do near the things we wanted because of unforeseen circumstances (auto accident) the weekend before Thanksgiving.  We weren’t hurt but our new car was damaged when a tractor trailer crossed the center line striking the driver’s side. The passenger door is messed up, so now we have to deal with getting estimates and repairs. Pushing all that aside, we managed to enjoy ourselves and took a couple of trips to the Smoky’s foothills communities. Here are a few pictures capturing the fun.

The series of images to follow were all captured with my iPhone 8.  The daytime shots were taken the same day in Pigeon Forge.  The first three photos are from The Apple Barn & Cider Mill and the other two are from The Island.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the above picture you can see the Smoky Mountains in the distant.

About a week later, we took another trip to Pigeon Forge.  We wanted to see the lights at night and found ourselves once again at The Island.  It’s just gorgeous there this time of year and we couldn’t have asked for better weather for both trips. It was just perfect, meaning we didn’t freeze. Actually, the temperatures were quite mild for December.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Normally I have a Linky party for my WildWednesdays edition but I’m taking a more laid back approach this holiday season.  I ask that you include your blog address to the post you’d like for me and others to visit in comments. It works just as well as the link up. 😉
