Holiday Goodies

There's not much food-wise that I don't like. However, I'm not a big Tootsie-roll fan. BUT....this is the best invention ever. It's like a candy cane on the outside of a tootsie roll. On a stick. What part of that can't make you happy? I haven't seen them in the stores this year, but mom said she has. It's a good thing I stocked up last year and had two unopened bags waiting for me in my box-o-Christmas stuff!!! You won't see me leave the house without one in my bag.

Another thing that I partook of last night (is that a word?) is this amazing beer. Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome. Very good stuff! I'm a sucker for seasonal ANYTHING, so I tried, and I liked. And check the label; it's a very happy label!

When I was little I learned how to make this...thing...out of paper. It was kind of accordion-ish, kind of snowflake-ish, but very "little kid craft"-ish. THIS (at left) reminds me of a grownup version of that sad little thing I used to make, however, this is much prettier, much more Martha Stewart than Bible School.







Look at how cute these retro plates from Target are!!! I love kitsch...I was going to have a 50s themed cocktail Christmas party tonight, but nobody seemed to want to come, so I'll just have to wait and do it right one year when I have lots of money and I can buy stuff like THIS to really get in the spirit.



Riverbanks Zoo is my home zoo in Columbia, SC and they've got a ZooView webcam that features different animals every month or so. During the month of December, every day at 12:30 they're showing the big aquarium on the webcam. There, you can see Scuba Santa feeding the fish!!! Here's the link
