Tis the Season!

Christmastime, Happy Holidays, The Holidays, whatever you want to call it is here. I cannot believe that its the Holiday season all ready, as it seems that yesterday I was looking for bathing suits and enduring self tanner trail and error.

So with all that glitters, silver and gold....what do you love about the Holidays? For me, its a mixture of family, friends, red and green kitschy ornaments that my Nana used to hang up, cut out cookies, watching my husband wrap presents and listing to Christmas songs.

To be honest ( and those who know me will not be suprised) Is that I actually love the commericalism that comes along with the Holidays ( the same thing Charlie Brown griped about, but I think I just made that word up!) I LOVE the seasonal lattes, martinis, gifts sets, a new Christmas outfit and new NYE cocktail dress.

So here are my top picks for Holiday season 2008.

Starbucks Sugar Free, non-fat latte, with whipped.
With out the whipped, its only 200 calories, but I like the think the sugar free syrup and non fat milk cancel out the whipped, and besides its CHRISTMAS TIME!

Christmas Eve Martini
My cousin Jaime and I used to drink these in plastic cups since we were 15 and 17 respectively, but since I am a grown up now, I like to put in a martini glass rimmed with chocolate syrup.

Two parts vodka ( I prefer Grey Goose)
1 part Godiva liqour
1 part kaluhaha
1 part Egg nog.

Shake with ice and strain, Merry Christmas!
