It’s the 18th, which means we’re one week out from Christmas. You’ve got this!

Our kitchen has made the switch over to holiday mugs:

While Rudi prefers his ski tavern pottery for coffee year-round, his reindeer mug is his go-to for tea and cocoa at this time of year.

My Santa mug (or, as Rudi lovingly calls him, “Willie Nelson”) holds two cups of liquid, which makes it my daily tea vessel. I’m nearly positive I picked him up at the Christmas Tree Shop back in Connecticut.

On the other hand, if I’ve made a pot of tea, I either pick the squirrel mug (a gift from Rudi) or the kitten mug, which I’ve had since I was a teen. They’re small for a standalone cuppa, but great if you’ve brewed a couple hours’ worth at once.

Snoopy, a gift from a former colleague, is my cocoa mug, since it’s decently big enough for a nice cup of hot chocolate without having to skimp on whipped cream.

Do you switch your drinkware out for holidays or do you drink from the same collection of mugs year-round?
