It has been really cold here and that makes me totally want to make soup. Does that happen to you too? I get that hibernation mode going and I’d be happy to stay in the kitchen and cook all day.

Personally I hate the frantic pace of the holidays. I don’t like shopping all that much so going to the mall with masses of people does not appeal to me.
