Here we are - the day after Thanksgiving. Food hangover - check! Unstoppable will to shop - check! High on family happiness - check! Christmas music finally allowed (even though I've been cheating for weeks) - check! It is the best of times.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope you unashamedly took the last helping of corn pudding. Proud of you.

We were out until 1:00am last night (this morning?) and I will be hitting the world again this morning. I love being out and about during these bustling, Christmas-y days.

Tomorrow we will be setting up our Christmas tree and turning Norwyk Manor into a veritable wonderland. I cannot wait. I am also going to be doing a live tour of Norywk Manor all decked out for the holidays on Instagram next Saturday morning. I will post the official time next week. I hope you can make it!

Our Christmas cards came in the mail Monday and I love them so much. I ordered from Minted because I am always so happy with their quality and customizable designs.

I am beyond obsessed with almost every single piece of the Hearth & Hand collection at Target. These stockings are definitely on my wishlist.

I really need to get my hands on some peppermint bark Talenti so I can make these!

Speaking of peppermint bark, that is one thing I never make. Do you make it? What is your favorite recipe? I think I want to give it a whirl this year.

I have such a good recipe coming to you all on Monday and I am so excited about it!! Eeep! I've got your Christmas-movie-marathon snack covered. You're welcome.

It has been forever since I made this cauliflower soup and I miss it. Mr. Pedantic is not a big soup guy in general, but he HATES cauliflower. That won't stop me though.

Happy, happy weekend!

Sincerely,

Pedantic Foodie
