1. Premier League soccer. There have been so many good games on lately. My DVR is stacked with games be watched, and I love that. Showing now: West Ham v. Man U. Go sports!
2. My sweet boyfriend loaded us up with baked goods from local restaurant/bakery Rye. I have long been a fan of their fried chicken (some of the best in town), and their cinnamon rolls and pie, but this is the first time we’ve tried their cake and cookies. And they are fantastic! Everything has been delicious, and it was an extra treat not to have to worry about desserts this year for Christmas. (Chocolate Peppermint Cake shown below, and if you’re wondering if it’s as good as it looks, the answer is no. It’s even better!)
3. We had a good Christmas. There were some rough spots, some bad news coming in near the end of an especially challenging year. But for the most part, we were happy and healthy. We socially distanced, keeping the idea in our hearts that it’s just for one Christmas, and we made the best of it. And overall, it was a good holiday. There was lots of delicious food, fun presents, cat snuggles, and lots of love. What more could we really ask for?
