There's something about the change of weather . The brisk winds , the weather channel warning and preparing you for winter coming and ice storms, Teachers and Students wishing it was virtual instead of coming into the school , and ice skating with the pine trees of lights. It feels like a dream ,but most importantly nothing is better than having hot cocoa with it.

I feel like everyone should be prpared to buy it because it will surely start it off. In fact, it starts off in the Fall beside Pumpkin Spice because that's when the weather gets colder and the shift of the sun in the sky shows that it's getting colder soon with the crispy leaves and fallen tempatures. The feel of the chocolately goodness that fills the air and coats the throat when it's sipped by warming your feet. The chcolately goodness can come within the dark chocolate version to the Abuleta's . Either way it's all tastes good with marshmallows and marshmallow fluff.

It feels good to have that in your hands with the blasting of the fire in the fireplace and covers warming you up while watching Christmas movies and shows on Hallmark , ABC and CBS. That's how I remembered when my mom made it homey when it got cold for us in the winter. It was an everyday thing especially before Christmas happens . The most is when it's for shopping as well.

The fdifferent styles from coffee places that make all kinds of ways of doing hot cocoa from peppermint to cinnamony goodness. I love the fact the preparations happens at that time of the winter. It brings your inner child and your peace back to give the life of slowing down to bring a new . The biggest inner child healing is when it's in a really good cup.

What I beleive in is hot cocoa is always the biggest part of the winter ritual. It's because it has all kinds of flavors that you can buy from the coffee place and also at home, that you have it during the times of work and when you're getting ready for Christmas and when it gets really chilly. It's so much worth the wait even during the Fall. It's still worth the wait and it commends all that to breathe in the peace , sip in the memories of peace and letting out a deep sigh of letting go.
