Happy Holidays everyone! We’re in the final countdown. I’m up early attempting to finish my checkerboard Neapolitan cookies. I have to admit I’m really not much of a baker and yes, this is the first time I’m using my stand mixer…if it doesn’t pair well with a martini, I’m generally not going to make it. Wish me luck.
We had a gangbuster week of shipping this week, with both our new Emery sweater in stock and the debut of our MM cocktail napkins. I’m delighted to see so much of our new product under your trees this year!
Sam and I realized there was one incredible (dark humor) piece of content we forgot to include in our Merry Molly holiday substack article last week. Season 2, Episode 6 of “The Bear” on Hulu is one of the most incredible episodes of television I’ve ever seen. It’s almost its own short film outside of the show. We re-watched it yesterday while cooking and if you grew up in the midwest around alot of Italians, you’ll completely understand. Again, dark humor.
I’m heading to the store today to prep our Christmas Day menu and I couldn’t be more exicted. Sharing below for any inspiration you might want for next year.
