Christmas Coffee Love

If you follow my Facebook page you know I start every day with a love of coffee. Christmas coffee love is even more cherished by me as I get my days going and prepare for the season.

This coffee lovers Christmas ornament was found at Hobby Lobby. I had to have it. It is my ornament purchase of the year. I always buy one for myself.

I have a small collection of vintage Thermos and this tin with vintage Thermos images has to come home with me. Dean put a small tree with peppermint lights on it.

An I love coffee Christmas tradition is some sort of hot drink station in the kitchen. We have done large and small. Check out our best hot drink tray idea.

 Even a simple basket of hot cocoa near the coffee maker is fun and lets the kids get involved in the holiday drink making. I did a whole post on hot cocoa station ideas.

Christmas for lovers of coffee is made even better with a fun Santa mug. Check out my knock off recipe for Starbucks peppermint white mocha. It is so yummy!

2017 Christmas Kitchen Tour

Welcome to our 2017 Christmas Kitchen Tour! Woo-hoo the kitchen is decked out in traditional red and green Christmas decorating ideas.

Our Decorating Agreement

As always, I buy and collect the holiday decor and Dean decorates. In fact on my Instagram I gave him his own hashtag #deandecorates. How's that for a hoot. They guy has no social media but has his own hashtag. Come follow and see his decorating skills at work. Lol! But first, check out his doings in our Christmas kitchen this year!!

Picking A Christmas Kitchen Theme

From our Christmas cookie baking center to a nod to our love of camping, our kitchen really represents our family. I have some old pieces of my mom's and things my kiddos have given me. It is where I spend all my time and I love what he did this year.
