Hope you all had a good christmas with great food and nice presents.
While you are sitting and enjoying the presents, the snow (not in Denmark), the holiday (for some), then make yourself a nice cop of warm chocolate.

Hot chocolate:

2 tsp sugar (cane sugar if you have)
Put the milk and 20 cl whipping cream in a saucepan - warm it up without make it boil. Put the chopped chocolate and sugar in. Whip the 10 cl cream to whipping cream. Serve the warm chocolate with whipped cream on the top.

"From all of us to all of you" - Merry christmas
The day we all have been waiting for has come - Christmas eve!
Hope you are all excited for a lovely day and evening with the family.
Is the Christmas tree decorated beautifully and ready for the big evening? Are all the gifts wrapped and laid under the tree, or are they still hidden away in cupboards and bags? Have the candles been lit in the whole house - to make a nice warm atmosphere?
Hope you are all excited for a lovely day and evening with the family.
Best wishes for a good evening - "from all of us to all of you" -
Merry Christmas from the House Doctor.
