Ho Ho Cocoa

We’re all swamped with last minute holiday activities so we don’t wish to take up your valuable time.

Instead, we wish to send you our warmest greetings for the holidays and wish you and your family peace and happiness in the year ahead. 

May you enjoy all the wonderful things that the season has to offer (especially the good food & drinks part). We’ve included our favourite hot cocoa recipe to get you started—best enjoyed in front of the fire after a nice winter walk or some tobogganing. 

We’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your loyal support during the last three months. We look forward to sending you lots more savvi-ness in 2006!

P.S. We’ll be off next week (time with our families is a priority, we knew you would understand).

Watch for your next SavvyMom Today to arrive on Tuesday, January 3, 2006, when we’ll be starting a great series of New Year’s resolutions (and no, dieting is not one of them).

It’s still not too late for you to submit your Words to Live By to share with our readers—you might be published in SavvyMom Today in January too.
