Around the holidays, I think back to my childhood and it was the Christmas lights, more than anything, that made me happy. The same still works today and I find myself leaving the holiday lights up all year and just changing the color for the next holiday.
We found him at Shadybrook Farms
Maybe it’s my inner Year of the Rat and love of all things shiny, but I go for long rides looking at the lit up houses and to every possible light show working a two hour ride(well, I make the mister drive it).

With five children there is always the need to keep them entertained, so light shows are a big hit and help get them outdoors on cold evenings, when they’d otherwise be engaged in video games & online media.
We also do outings to Science Museums, Zoos, Art Galleries… and you can see a lot of them pull out all the stops for Holiday festivities.
In the spirit of our Liquid Friday blog, I have to leave to you with a favorite holiday drink- hot chocolate!
Ingredients: (4 big servings)
8 ounces dark chocolate chips(semisweet) or chopped brick chocolate
4 Tablespoons sugar (or equivalent in your favorite sweetener)
5 cups milk- we use lactose free and omit the sugar, but any heat stable milk substitute works
Save your add-ins for the side and let guests customize their beverage
Add-ins:
Marshmallows
Peppermint sticks
Whipped Cream
Cinnamon stick
Pinch Cayenne Pepper, really warms you up
Directions:
Warm milk and chocolate in a pot on low to medium heat(stirring continuously to avoid scalding milk) until chocolate has melted and mixture is hot, add sugar to taste- alternatively you can put your milk and chocolate in a crock pot and keep it warm while children play outside
Stir again before serving as chocolate will settle
Serve warm and let guests choose their own toppings, for a special treat
Have a wonderful season of lights!
