Strange Food We Must Eat at Christmas Time…

Each year my family has this little tradition.. we go to the Country Club Plaza

check out the lights and then head to Topsy's. I've grown up with Topsy's…

because of that I think EVERYONE has…

We buy the same thing every year.. a HUGE can of cinnamon, caramel and

cheese popcorn. I like to mix the cheese and cinnamon. Sounds weird..

but it's really good.

The popcorn comes in this cute "Plaza Lights" tin. Shortly after I buy it

this happens:

The man likes the caramel. 🙂 Do you have any weird food traditions

for the holidays?

It’s New Years.. and I need a Cocktail Dress!

The Man and I do the same thing every New Year’s eve… we go out early for dinner (usually on the Plaza) walk around shop a little, drink some Starbucks then bring Cheesecake Factory dessert home to eat with the kids.  A nice night.. not to eventful.  When I was growing up, I thought I would go to a BIG.. MONSTER.. New Years Eve Bashes.. you know the swanky kind that last all night.. and you spend the night in a posh hotel?  The Man is not that kind of “celebrator”.. he’s more of the “let’s grill some steaks and watch TV at home” kind of guy.  So this blog is really me dreaming that I need a cocktail dress for New Years Eve.
