Welcome to The Holiday Cafe. Follow me. I have a wonderful seat for you, right next to the Christmas tree. I see you brought your own plate... and it's already full. Well then, let's focus on your empty cup. What would you like? Hot chocolate? Egg nog? Peppermint tea? Maybe I could interest you in my favorite- our homemade wassail; it's a family tradition. My husband and I discovered the recipe during our travels and now he makes it at even the hint of cool weather. The aroma alone is enough to calm the most frazzled shopper and put a smile on the face of the scroogiest of scrooges. Wonderful! Wassail it is! It's hot, so sip it carefully. Oh, I love this song! Don't you? Nat King Cole is the best. Although, I can't say I've ever roasted chestnuts on an open fire. I'm not even sure I could tell the difference between a chestnut and a regular nut. Speaking of regular nuts, it's time for me to take a break. How 'bout I grab a cup and join you? No one should experience The Holiday alone.
