Dec. 1: Leave ‘em. I don’t even like non-seasonal cheesy romance movies haha. 

Dec. 2: Chocolate popcorn balls! 

Dec. 3: I think I’d get a new EDP or two… maybe from 7 Virtues. I got the sampler set a few months ago and absolutely LOVE a few of them. 

Dec. 4: It’s pretty!

Dec. 5: There aren’t any specific winter drinks I like. I enjoy peppermint tea year round. A poinsettia is cranberry juice version of a mimosa and I love those, with the name I guess that can count haha. 

Dec. 6: I think I’ve love some scallops and risotto! Maybe a small salad, finish it with flourless chocolate cake and raspberry sauce. Aaaaaaand Pinot Noir. 

[quspork]

Ok, what time is dinner, @alexasteph?? I will be there with bells on! 

[AznAngelLiz]

@alexasteph I want an invite to your dinner table, too! Sounds yummy. And the 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods smells AMAZING!

[alexasteph]

@AznAngelLiz That’s one of the ones I really love from the sampler set. Lotus Pear and Patchouli Citrus are the others. 

With this many people we may need a few bottles of Pinot… not a problem! 

[missjeanie]

@alexasteph Can we all come to your dinner?? oh my gosh it sounds delicious!!

[alexasteph]

@missjeanie Of course! All are welcome! It’s a fantastic dinner party meal.

December 4: Best thing about snow?

It doesn't stay very nice in the city once it falls so watching it fall from inside is my favorite part. 

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

I do love holiday flavored coffee and hot chocolate is always good! 

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

I'm Italian American so the 7 fishes feast on Christmas Eve is a big deal for us!
