Christmas Mugs AND Secret Santa Gift!!!
Here we are on Day 27 of NaBloPoMo! Thanksgiving is over, and the Christmas decorations are out! I’m doing Part 2 of my mug tour, because the Christmas mugs needed their own post. But before we get started… Imagine my excitement when a mysterious package arrived for me last week! It turned out to be TWO incredible mugs from my Secret Santa, aka Erin (IG @erinollila.) She totally nailed it. Here’s the first mug: It’s a RUNNING CHRISTMAS TREE! Nothing could be more perfect than that, right? But here’s the second mug: I love it so, so much- its a Baylor Mom mug. What I love most about it is, after Christmas is all over, all the pretty mugs are put away, and I’m missing my son because he’s back at school, I can pull out this mug. I usually hate drinking out of my “normal” mugs again after the holidays, but this time I’ll be looking forward to it. THANK YOU ERIN! And thank you to San for organizing #SecretSantaMugSwap2021 . Moving right along! Here’s a couple of my pretty Christmas mugs… I love those mugs, but sometimes I’m in the mood for a big, chunky mug, so I’m also loving this one: Here’s a mug I pull out every year but rarely drink out of. It’s pretty, but it’s kind of a weird shape- taller and skinny. I’m giving it one more Christmas, and if I don’t drink out of it, I’m donating it! I need the cabinet space. Now- it never snows in South Florida. But we have some “chilly” nights where it gets down to the 50s. On those mornings I take out this mug: The “Let it Snow” mug has the dubious honor of being the one that burned my hand horribly. On the bottom is says it’s not microwave safe, but last year I ignored that and used it to microwave my tea. When I reached in to take it out, the handle was so hot it burned my hand. I mean, really burned it. People were asking me what happened to my hand- that’s how bad it looked (and felt.). So, if something is not microwave safe, they really mean it! Don’t do what I did. Here’s one more mug! Last year one of my coworkers gave me a Starbucks gift card. Instead of using it for the same old tea I get all the time, I used it for this travel mug- something I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. There you have it! You can see why I get sad when January rolls around and I have to put these away! Luckily this time I’ll have my Baylor Mom mug to cheer me up. Now, since I’m a mug fanatic, I have a few questions: Do you like to drink out of special mugs for holidays? If so, how many holiday mugs is too many?- I can’t help myself- I’m always on the lookout for more mugs. Which of my mugs is your favorite? Should I get rid of the skinny one?
