September Challenge at CCAYR - Food

Hello and welcome to September's challenge at
 hosted by the Gingerbread Gals.

September Challenge ~ Food
Prize:
In order to celebrate the 11th anniversary of Christmas Crafts All Year 'RoundDeanne is offering a $20 gift certificate to an online craft store of your choice!

Oh yum! I love everything about Christmas, especially the food :-)
I'm Portuguese and we celebrate just about everything with food :-)
We all sit around a large table, eating, drinking and catching up and yes, we sometimes all talk and laugh at the same time, but no, no-one is mad at each other :-)  We're just a fun loving people that really enjoy our food and carry recipes through the ages from family member to family member!

So with this being said, you can imagine that this challenge was not a hard one for me :-)  One of the things I enjoy at Christmas time in December is that the weather is perfect for hot cocoa with marshmallows and of course gingerbread cookies :-)  You see, when we lived in South Africa and spent our Christmas at the beach, we enjoyed anything that was cold and refreshing.  Christmas in the summer is not very conducive to having hot cocoa and cookies!!
So without further ado, here is the card I made for this challenge.
