This Christmas, did you find the KitchenAid attachment that you've been wanting under the tree? Or perhaps receive the edible gift of your dreams?
Before the holidays, my friend Daisy presented me with some scrumptious
peppermint bark, and I was elated!

When I was growing up, we had a special Christmas plate that was reserved for serving Santa Claus. Every Christmas Eve, my sister and I would take the pretty plate, place the most perfect cookies on it, and set it out by the tree. To relive old memories, I went looking for the long lost plate.

Although the female members of the royal family showed off an array of hats on Christmas Day, all eyes were on Prince William's new facial hair:
do you prefer him clean shaven or bearded? They gathered for a service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, and while Autumn Phillips and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie all chose low key headgear, Zara Phillips made a more daring choice with her magenta number:
do you love or hate it? As so many of us are feeling the affects of the credit crunch, the Queen has reportedly

However you're celebrating the season, I hope you spend happy days relaxing with your loved ones over this extended weekend. Whether you're
whipping up some homemade eggnog, visiting
extended family, or
taking in the must-see holiday movies, here's wishing the very best for you and yours. Even if the weather outside is frightful, I hope all of you readers are enjoying the day, perhaps by a fire that's so delightful.

On behalf of YumSugar and myself, I wish you and your family a very fabulous holiday! May your souffles rise and gravy thicken. May your roasts be succulent and your cakes moist.

After seeing this, no one puts the sexy in Christmasexy like Ana Beatriz Barros and photog Ellen von Unwerth. Take a super-sexy Victoria's Secret model, put her with one of the raciest fashion photographers, dangle a little mistletoe, and this is what you get. If you're needing a little escape from the family holiday madness, let me be your guide .

Perhaps you were a little overzealous with the holiday
grocery list. Or you decided to stock up on it since it's only around once a year. Either way, you've wound up with way too much
eggnog.
