One of the best feelings of holiday season is shopping for gifts and one of the best gifts we can give to our children is the experience of the joy of giving. Every year the arrival of autumn brings that feeling back.

Shopping takes time! If you are lucky to have enough time for shopping, it is actually fun.
Work time, family time , social time all demanding our attention, we are constantly juggling our day-to-day responsibilities.
Online shopping makes it easy and allows you to spend less time on your comfort chair with just a few clicks.
If you invited your family and friends for the Thansgiving, give your martini a holiday twist! This delicious recipe sure will please your thursty crowd!
1 ounce orange liqueur
1 ounces cranberry juice
1 tsp vermouth
1 cup ice
lime slice, or twisted lime rind for garnish
Combine vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, vermouth, ice and shake until chilled (~15-20 seconds) If you want even more cranberry flavor, try cranbery flavored vodka like I did last year and it was really good.
Pour into chilled (~15 min) martini glasses, and garnish with lime slices.
Hosting a holiday dinner can be stressful. Let's not forget, laughing is a real stress relief medicine and also a good calorie burner. So, instead of getting frusrated, stressed, just laugh and make your guests laugh for adding this extra bonus to your dinner table 😄
I'm thankful because although my life is by no means perfect, it's my life and I'm happy .
Enjoyable Thanksgiving!!!
I will try that different martini for sure! My Thanksgiving dinner is going to be awesome!

ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
DeleteCan't agree more! Online shopping is a lifesaver, especially for holiday seasons.
I've also noticed that shopping online is so much easier than lugging my 15 year old around with me :-)
