Christmas is Coming...

Do you have Facebook friends who delight in a daily Christmas countdown reminding you how rapidly the holiday season is approaching?  For the record, Christmas is 49 days away!  Yikes!

It's a warm, sunny 70 degree day here in southeastern Michigan, so it's hard to get a mindset of Christmas at the moment.  We've had unseasonably warm weather all week, and we'll gladly take it because next week there could be a snow storm!  We've had snow flurries already.  

I have received some items for Christmas that I want to share with you today.

The first is a Tea Advent Calendar from Adagio Tea.  I got their advent tea calendar last year and enjoyed it very much.  I highly recommend it.


The calendar contains 24 servings with enough tea for an 8 oz. teapot each day until Christmas. The cost is $29.  I can hardly wait to begin drinking it on Dec. 1st.  Adagio Teas are excellent, and I will share them throughout December.


Another lovely Christmas gift for the tea lover on your Christmas list is Adagio's 12 Days of Christmas.  It's such a creative and fun gift.


Each individual tin [which can be a Christmas tree ornament later] contains one single serving pouch of loose tea.  For example:  Day 1 Partridge in a [White] Pear Tree Tea [white tea with apple and natural flavors].  The cost is $19.  I've tried to link both of these items to Adagio's website, but Blogger has recently changed their format and I can't figure out how to make it work.  I'll keep trying, but in the meantime Adagio's website is Adagio.com.  Search both items under Seasonal.


We celebrate Christmas with our family on Christmas Eve.   I recently received a catalog from Spilsbury in Indiana.  Everyday the mailman delivers a slew of catalogs from companies hoping to help us with our Christmas shopping.

I ordered two games from Spilsbury.  Christmas Bingo and Christmas Charades.  I think they'll be fun to play after we've had our dinner and the presents have been opened.


Now to start thinking about what to buy everyone!  Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?  Online shopping will be more popular than ever this year since we're still dealing with COVID.

  2. Those games do look like fun! I'm not sure who will be where when this year with my family, but I might need to have a game on hand for whenever we are able to be together. Thanks for the suggestion!
