Every Who Down in Whoville . . .

. . . Liked Christmas a lot, especially when it involves homemade hot cocoa!

Christmas Countdown
Day 1:
Enjoying a cup of cheer with mum and papa while watching The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (animated version).

Fluffy hot chocolate (our family favorite; kids love making it):
8 tsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking cocoa
4 c. milk
1 1/2 c. miniature marshmallows
1 tsp. vanilla extract

In a saucepan, combine first four ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until the marshmallows are melted, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Ladle into mugs.

Oh, and we add red sprinkles, of course!
