Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

Ahhh @Kim888, the Feast of Seven Fishes is so beautiful. And delicious! 😋

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@Kim888 ohhh your feast would be delicious 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 1: Hallmark movies (and similar): love 'em or leave 'em?  No thanks.

December 2: Favorite holiday desserts (candy, sweet treats, drinks, etc.)?  I'm not much of a sweets/desserts person.  However, there is a local chocolate company that I won't say "no" to. 😁

December 3: If you won $100 dollars, what beauty item would you run out and gift yourself?  At the moment, nothing.  After Black November, I'm good.

December 4: Best thing about snow?  Snow days!  But with telework, that's a thing of the past now too.

December 5: What winter drinks do you enjoy?  (Hot chocolate, tea, cocktails...)  Vegan eggnog, hot chocolate, and hot tea.

December 6: If you could plan an ideal holiday feast, what would be on your menu?  Umm...

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

"there is a local chocolate company that I won't say "no" to.

 

It's always good to support your local businesses @Titian06! I think several visits to the local chocolate company next year is in order. 😆

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@itsfi - I do my best to support local businesses (regional as well).  I'm sure I can work in several visits to the chocolate store. 😁🍫

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@Titian06 Black November is turning into Black December for me LOL. I haven't heard of vegan eggnog before, need to find a place to get it at now. 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

Oops, I spoke too soon. Looks like Target sells them. Adding to my list.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@AznAngelLiz - Glad you found it.  I believe it's actually called dairy-free eggnog, but I don't think there are other animal products in it.  I can tell you, at least around here, it's a good idea to buy it when you see it.  It sells out fast!

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@Titian06 Black November!  I haven't heard that before but ... yep. 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@missjeanie - I made that up because of all the early Black Friday sales going on throughout the month.  If it's really a term, I haven't heard it either! 😄

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@Titian06  You’re an innovator!! It suits this years sales perfectly!

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

December 1: Hallmark movies (and similar): love 'em or leave 'em?  I think they're kinda cheesy, so I prefer regular classic Christmas movies like It's a Wonderful Life and Scrooged

 

 

December 2: Favorite holiday desserts (candy, sweet treats, drinks, etc.)?  Mints and sea salt caramels. Also gingerbread cookies. Really all the sweets this time of year!

 

 

December 3: If you won $100 dollars, what beauty item would you run out and gift yourself?  Hmm, maybe new Tom Ford Quad

 

 

December 4: Best thing about snow?  How pretty it looks when it's falling. I love snow- still play in it when we get enough!

 

 

December 5: What winter drinks do you enjoy?  (Hot chocolate, tea, cocktails...)  I drink hot tea year round, but this time of year I love spicing it up with cinnamon teas and peppermint teas. Also spiced cider, hot chocolate (with 'mallows), and always add a splash of cranberry to whatever cocktails I'm having this time of year. 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@quspork, cinnamon teas are so warm and cozy; perfect for the season! 😍

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@quspork I much prefer Christmas movies like the ones you mentioned and even The Santa Claus or Home Alone than Hallmark movies. 

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

Yes, there are so many good ones, @AznAngelLiz!

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@quspork it's a wonderful life is a major tradition for me ☺️ my kids were ringing lots of bells as we were putting the Christmas tree up 😇

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

I can't help but think of that movie whenever a bell rings, @lmaster

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

Day 5: I can't stop drinking peppermint hot chocolate!

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@CookieGirl1, I had a scoop of hot chocolate peppermint ice cream the other day. Mmmm, ice cream. 🍨

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

@itsfi Ohhh, you speak my love language 💚🍨.  What brand?  Not many brands do that flavor.

Re: BIC's 2022 Holiday Fun and Year End Countdown!!!

I love ice cream. ♥️ It can solve many a problem @CookieGirl1! We went out to dinner the other night and the restaurant had homemade hot chocolate peppermint ice cream, so I had to order that. Delicious! 

My taste buds then wanted more so I hunted down the flavor - Breyers. It was a hit with friends and houseguests for an after dinner treat, a mid afternoon snack, a … 😂
