See ya later apple cider. Good riddance apple crisp. I'm not going to lie. These last couple of months have been quite enjoyable. And I'll definitely miss you. But it's eggnog and hot chocolate's turn. And cookies. An absurdly large amount of cookies.

Sometimes I actually have a good idea. Asheley might try and tell you those moments are few and far between, but don't let her kid you 😉

This is one of those lightbulb moments. What if we didn't have to choose between eggnog and hot chocolate? What if we could have both, at the same time?!
