Christmas Eve Coffee

Christmas Eve is a wonderful night and as parents most of us have stayed up most of the night to wrap presents at one time or another. But this Christmas season we are going to celebrate and enjoy a mug of Christmas Eve Coffee (I won’t even judge you if you have 2 or 3!) While we will be enjoying a mug or two we won’t be busy wrapping because as Empty Nesters those days are long gone. Enjoy this Christmas Eve Coffee and the kids while they are little. I promise it will be over in a blink of an eye and you will be enjoying your spouse and more quite time than you can handle. While it’s nice some days other days it is very hard to keep your chin up, but life changes and we adapt. Enjoy those little kids while you have them and hug them tight.

  1. Hi Heidi, the coffee looks delicious, but what I really wanted to say is that I know how you feel about being empty nesters and about some days feeling very hard. I’m right there with you. We have one son and he’s long grown and on his own (about to get married in fact!), but I still long for the days when he was home with us. I suppose that never really goes away. Anyway, I hope you’re still finding some joy in life, I’m trying my best to find some too.

  3. This was delicious! The only change I made was to add a bit of neutral-flavored creamer (oat milk) to my cup of coffee. I look forward to making it again! It might be a new Christmas tradition for me.
