Last year, just before the holidays, I posted an entry entitled, “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” in which I shared my hopes for a picture-perfect-Christmas-card style view out my windows for the holidays. Well, I was only one year off. Boy, have we gotten SNOW this year ~ a blizzard actually hit our area dumping around twenty inches the weekend before Christmas. Our Christmas was, indeed, a white one! High winds, frigid cold and another snowfall arrived this week, again covering everything with a fresh, clean, pristine beauty. I don’t know about you but I have been reluctant to put away all the festive decorations quite yet. It still feels like Christmas with this winter weather and it looks as if it is here to stay for a while which makes me very happy!
A favorite teapot added to my collection last year is this one with a sweet message ~
“ Let the snow pile high on the Window Sill,
Warm inside we’ll drink our Fill,
As we Keep the Season
Merry Still.”
As the snow blankets the landscape, the wind howls and temperatures remain below freezing, it’s a great time to brew up some good, strong tea! Did you know that January is National Hot Tea Month? What a perfect inspiration to sample all sorts of flavors and varieties of tea. This month we have all of our Fall and Christmas favorites on sale for 50% off! Don’t wait to stock up! They are flying off the shelves! Also, one of our New Arrivals, Ice Wine Flavored Black is just the perfect blend to enjoy on these icy, wintry afternoons. Another New Arrival, Love Potion Specialty, and our returning Valentine flavors, Sweet Hearts Specialty and Read My Lips Specialty have been listed so you can stock up early for Valentine’s Day. The St. Patrick’s Day flavors will be listed early as well.
Be sure to check back again soon as we’ll have more exciting details about our impending move, as well as the dates for the short interruption of service as we change locations.
Now it’s time to go put the kettle on and “Keep the Season Merry Still!”
Happy New Year!
