Advent Reds

I worked this weekend but there was still an hour of sunlight left when I finished today. I walked along a favourite trail where winter birds are accustomed to human handouts. It was the perfect way to rid myself of the fatigue and stress of the day.







Each Sunday of Advent, I make a simple meal and one special sweet treat. We light the Advent candles when we eat together.


Tonight I made Mexican Christmas Punch, a fruity, spiced hibiscus based drink which looks very festive. My daughter made it for me in November and it is warming and delicious on a cool night. I posted the recipe on my recipe blog.
