Normally this week we would be celebrating Secret Santa week, a McNabb & Risley holiday tradition at our store. Every year after Thanksgiving we would draw names and purchase or make little gifts to surprise our co-workers with during the week, leading up to our holiday party.
This year, in the giving spirit of the season, we decided to donate what we would have spent (or more) to the troops in Afghanistan. We then added 100% of the proceeds of an employee sale and a fully decorated Christmas tree to the collection that we mailed to the soldiers. It is a small but loving gesture to the men and women protecting our freedom. As you count your blessings this year, kindly remember our soldiers too.
Would you like to send a care package to our troops? Here are gift items they would appreciate:
Cookies Advil Cold & Sinus Seasonal fun items or games
Vitamin C Vitamin B Healthy snacks
Trail Mix Dried fruit Nuts
Candy Tea Beef jerky
Personal hygiene items (soap, shampoo, etc.) Flavored k-cups (coffee or cocoa)
*No gift wrap please.
Many snowbirds head south for the holidays. If you are one of the lucky ones, deck the halls, walls and guest bedroom with a cool coastal look. Here’s to you and a carefree holiday at the beach!
More coastal inspiration!

Gather round the table and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa and sugar cookies! Need a great cocoa recipe? Try my simple peppermint hot chocolate recipe; I love to whip this up on cold snowy days.
Peppermint Hot Chocolate: (Prep time: 10 minutes)
1 cup whole milk
2 tbsp crushed peppermint candies
5 oz. milk chocolate chopped into small pieces
Whipped cream (for topping)
Combine milk and peppermint in a small sauce pan, heat on low for 4 to 5 minutes until candy dissolves. Add chocolate and stir until chocolate melts. Pour into mug. Top with whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies; serve immediately.
Now here’s a revised recipe for the grown up kids! Must be over 21 to indulge…
