25 Teas of Christmas at the Amick House 2011


December...typically a time with too much to do & not enough time to do it - at least that's how it is at our house.  Not this year.  I have purposely NOT overfilled the family calender with things to do, places to go & people to see in order to have the time to enjoy some of the activities we really want to experience; but that always seem to get pushed out of the plans as we are rushing about.


So this December I have taken it upon myself to enforce a daily time of relaxation on my family! We will be celebrating the "25 Teas of Christmas" at our house.  Each day we will relax with a hot cup of tea (a different kind each day) , and READ selections from our Christmas book collection (which has grown huge).  I will also be returning to my long neglected blog to document our experience and share reviews on the tea sampled that day & the book read.  I am greatly looking forward to having this family down-time as part of our day this upcoming month, as well as slowing down to do the things that make Christmas memorable...


** We'll also be having fun shopping for new teas to try and are happily accepting suggestions!

I think this is a fantastic idea! Something I seriously need to consider. How you find time is amazing. Enjoy it! You deserve it.

Awesome idea Sue! When we were in Ireland two years ago I sampled fruit teas in the afternoons with the kids many days and it was a great experience. I'm so grateful that you mentioned this and I do plan to do this as well. Thoughts of Christmas-related tea flavors.... mmmm!!! I was also hoping to save cookies/treats until Christmas this year, so not sure what to have WITH the tea...

Great idea! Our new favorite tea is Lipton's Green Tea Superfruit Black Currant and Vanilla.
