It’s almost officially the holiday season. How did that happen?
I swear it was just summer last week, and now, Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we’re at the beginning of the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Is it just me, or does the fact that it’s almost December seem like it can’t be possible?
Ok, now that my rant is over, let’s talk about the holidays. Even though I still can’t believe it’s upon us, it is my favorite time of the year (besides summer and fall…you get the point, right?). I love baking Christmas goodies, decorating the tree, and listening to holiday music. It’s such a festive time of year, and even though the cold weather is starting to show up around here, I don’t mind it quite as much around the holidays.
And one of my favorite things to do around the holidays is to whip up some delicious baked goods and enjoy it around the Christmas tree. I look forward to that every year and never get tired of it.
Now that December is almost here, I can start sharing my holiday goodies with you that I’ve been testing since October! And this Cranberry Swirl Coffee Cake is just a little sneak peek of what’s to come during the rest of the season. And if you’re anything like me, cranberry (along with peppermint and gingerbread) are a must during the holidays.
