Do you have your coffee cup? I do!
Merry Christmas Eve, friends. I hope this lovely holiday morning finds your kitchen warm, gifts tucked beneath a glowing tree, your home filled with family, and your heart full of Christmas joy.
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, I wanted to share a short, meaningful Christmas Eve Coffee Break. Wrap your hands around your favorite holiday mug and join me as we begin this special celebration together.
MONDAY COFFEE BREAK: ENCOURAGEMENT, INSPIRATION, RECIPES
Did you know the Twelve Days of Christmas actually begin after December 25th? They aren’t the same thing as the familiar song. The piece “An Epiphany of Sorts” explores the meaning and traditions of those twelve days. Learning about them has deepened our family’s celebration and added a gentle, reflective rhythm to the season.
Join me for a Christmas Barn Tour, a beloved Southern Discourse feature. This barn is more than a nativity backdrop; it’s a cozy gathering place where the hosts welcome family and friends. They transform found materials into warm, inviting spaces that brim with hospitality and creativity—perfect inspiration for those who love rustic charm and heartfelt entertaining.
Last week’s most searched recipe was the Overnight Sausage Breakfast Casserole made with croutons. Why the popularity? It’s ideal for Christmas morning or any time you have overnight guests. The casserole assembles the night before, chills while the flavors meld, and bakes in about 30 minutes—no standing at the stove while everyone else enjoys the festivities. Yes, it really uses croutons, which add a crisp, savory texture that soaks up all the custardy goodness.
That’s all for this week’s Monday Coffee Break. Thank you for pausing with me—sharing a cup, slowing down for a moment, and beginning the Christmas celebration together.
