Happy Holidays!

Just a little holiday reflection as the new year begins

Christmas in Split

We’ve never celebrated Christmas away from home before. Here’s what it looked like!

Zagreb: Croatia’s Capital (part 2/2)

Zagreb offered plenty of other attractions, especially with the Christmas markets, so we took in as many as we could!

A Weekend in Zadar

Zadar is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Croatia, so we combined this history trip with a visit to the Christmas market!

Bringing Christmas Cheer!

Last year I went on and on and on about how I hate the way commercialism rushes through Thanksgiving and into Christmas. Well… this year I want to do the rushing.

New Year, New Bread

New Year’s Day was a double holiday for me. Tim and I ushered in 2021 and we celebrated our Christmas together. Yes, we celebrated Christmas at home, but we also wanted a personal one with just the two of us.

The Real Important Business

Kringle by Tony Abbott is, and I’m not even exaggerating here, the BEST book ever. I’ve read it 14 times (that’s over half my life).

Wrapping Up Christmas

But before getting too wrapped up in New Year’s celebrations, I wanted to share the final days of my living Advent calendar with you all.

Merry Cookiemas!

I’m not really sure why cookies are a Christmas thing. But I love that they are. I like the aesthetic of holiday cookie boxes and the idea of cookie exchanges. I like the simple decorations on Christmas cookies.

‘Twas the Week Before Christmas

Was Sunday REALLY the Fourth Sunday of Advent? Nah. It couldn’t have been.
