Peppermint Hot Chocolate
December 21, 2012
Brrrr…. it got cold again in Texas. One day it’s 80 degrees and then the next day it is in the 50s. It was also very windy last night and the power kept going off and on. It normally wouldn’t bother me but when you have 2 fans going in your room it can get real quiet real fast. I love the sound of a fan and it definitely helps put me to sleep.
No fan is basically no sleep for me.
I will say that I was really hoping for a White Christmas this year, but the forecast is just showing rain. Not quite what I had in mind but I’ll take it.
Since I did wake up to a cold, windy day I decided to make myself some Hot Chocolate. I can’t even tell you the last time I even had hot chocolate at home. It was probably at a football game in college where I treated myself to a hot chocolate drink.
Wow that really has been a while. With it being so close to Christmas I had to add a little peppermint flavor making it peppermint hot chocolate.
ENJOY!

I’m the same way when it comes to fans! I have to have a fan to sleep well. My husband thinks I’m weird!
Love this hot chocolate! I think we’ll have to try this for Christmas morning!
Perfect to warm up with. This sounds so good!
“No fan, no sleep” <—- same here. We can't sleep without it.
This hot chocolate is just what I need after a long day of shopping..
I love this! I’m making these for my girls next week when they’re off from school… we adore hot cocoa {and peppermint!} 🙂 Merry Christmas Meagan

Love this cozy vibe! Cold Texas nights and peppermint hot chocolate sound perfect together. When the power flickers, I totally get missing that fan noise you could try looping white noise or fan sound buttons from a soundboard. I’ve been exploring trending sounds and meme effects on SoundBoardW.com, my go-to sound board free site for downloads!
In addition to its linear gameplay, Space Waves Game has three additional modes, each of which delivers a unique experience.
Brrr, that Texas weather instability is crazy, reminds me how unpredictable things can be. With the power outages last night, I felt the need for a sweet escape myself. A friend in Greece suggested a site for distraction, mentioning special perks. I tried Midas Golden Touch: I had a string of small losses, but I risked it and suddenly the wins exploded! I found the perfect mood shift at highflybet. That unexpected success is better than hot chocolate.
