1) What is your favorite December holiday food?

Gingerbread cookies!

2) What is your favorite December holiday beverage?

I like them all as fic prompts [this Xmas I've done Sorrel, Driven Snow, Jingle Juice, and Spiced Rum Milk Punch]. I don't drink any of them. I drink coffee with sugar and milk. And I drink tea, Ceylon black with sugar. I also drink South American mate when I'm feeling Serious.

3) What is your favorite December holiday song?

"The Holly & the Ivy." So haunting!

4) What is your favorite December holiday tradition?

I like reading Christmas mysteries!

5) What is the one thing you will miss most this December because of the pandemic?

I'm missing a functioning postal service at the moment. My sister says it's because of employees being sick/out because of COVID and not pure fascism because of mail-in voting, but I don't know. :/ If it were slow across the board, it would be one thing, but it's not. Some things are flowing like normal and some things are lost in space.

I love a good black tea.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Yes, I like Twinnings Ceylon black in the orange box. That's pretty much what I drink when I drink hot tea.

Because my interstitial cystitis is acting up, I am currently drinking either peppermint, sleepy tea (some blend of valerian and catnip and mint and etc) or decaf (*sobs*) store brand black tea. I have to limit my caffeine intake, so only one caffeinated beverage per day right now.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

That's tough. I'm sorry that you're dealing with that.

No worries. Dietary restrictions is the name of my game. LOL

What I really need to do is go on that total elimination diet for a few weeks and heal up, and then I'll be able to mostly eat and drink what I want as long as I'm moderate.

I trust the Christmas mysteries were suitability festive and fun whilst enjoying a cuppa!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]
