Wine Pairing Wednesday: Pick a Red and Gift Wrap

Wine Pairing Wednesday: Pick a Red and Gift Wrap

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year…..

And as wonderful as it is, I am not a fan of gift wrapping. I love the Christmas Season: The Reflection of Christ and His Birth, Christmas Carols, Hot Chocolate in front of the Fireplace, Romantic Hallmark Movies, Christmas Lights, Giving Gifts and all! But wrapping gifts and trying to find that perfect moment to wrap the gift without the others seeing what they are getting isn’t my favorite. This year I decided to take a bit of advice from a past blog post and add a little HOLIDAY CHEER to my wrapping time. Tonight, wrapping hasn’t been so bad. In fact, I found it a little soothing. So once again, my theory has been proven true that WINE MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!

I hope you are enjoying the beginning of the Season and spending time with those you love and care about.  This time passes so quickly and oftentimes we get so wrapped up in the mundane details of preparing that we don’t actually take the time to enjoy. Make those memories while you can because we won’t always have the time to do so.

Merry CHRISTmas and Happy Holidays from my Family to Yours,

XOXO, Smiling Danny

Pairing: Red Wine of your choice, Holiday Music, Gift Wrap and Those you Love.
