What you can see here is our newly functional fireplace and our high-class “TV”.
What you can’t see is the jumbo cookie tin right in between us. But it’s there. It’s definitely there.
Merry Christmas to all of you crazy Pinch of Yum readers! Here’s to cozy nights by the fire, cookies and hot chocolate, family and friends, and peace, hope, and perfect love.
