Music: The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole

Soothe your nerves during the holiday rush with some sweet sounds from the classic Nat King Cole at Christmas.

From Denny: Enjoy the original version of this song done by favorite artist Nat King Cole. There are some classic artists that never go out of style. It's interesting to watch each generation and their interpretation of these classics. Here are the lyrics too for you to enjoy.


The Christmas Song lyrics


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all-aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you!

Romancing The Chocolate: Prize Winner: Peppermint-Hot Chocolate Cake, Fudge Filling, Marshmallow Frosting

Romancing The Chocolate: Prize Winner: Peppermint-Hot Chocolate Cake, Fudge Filling, Marshmallow Frosting: From Denny:  Love hot chocolate?  Thought of making it into a cake?  Britainy Shaw, 25, of Louisiana (before that she lived in Texas and before that in Montana) decided it was a brilliant idea.  She heard of Southern Living magazine's contest and decided to enter just for fun, taking third for this cake recipe.

She said her thoughts immediately went to her favorite Christmas flavors.  “For some reason, all I could think of were drinks.  I love hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps in it.”

Her cake consists of three layers of buttermilk chocolate cake that is filled with a fudge-mint filling, frosted with peppermint-tinged marshmallow crème frosting.

Funny Video: WikiLeaks Reveals Santa Naughty List

View a cute problem-solving session on the school playground.

From Denny:  Turns out WikiLeaks likes to snitch on everyone - even little kids. This cute little farce lampoons just how far WikiLeaks will go to leak information. In this little ditty the kids are calling "a staff meeting" on the playground to figure out how to do "damage control." It turns out WikiLeaks leaked Santa's Naughty List. These kids are worried about how to deal with the repercussions of all their antics becoming public knowledge. One even calls his lawyer while others decide to run for the hills. Kind of reminds you of politicians when they can't handle the heat when yellow journalists snitch on them. The real question is "So, who rats out the yellow journalists like the National Inquirer and the WikiLeakers?"

Romancing The Chocolate: Holiday Cookie: Double-Shot Mocha

Romancing The Chocolate: Holiday Cookie: Double-Shot Mocha: From Denny:  OK, never write a cookie post right before lunch.  It all looks so good you want to rush into the kitchen and start baking! :)  This cookie recipe is basically a dense brownie with pools of melting chocolate oozing out when you break them open straight out of the hot oven!
  
There are two cups of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks in this awesome recipe, certainly more than I'm used to baking.  It's no wonder you can get your chocolate fix in one small cookie all at once.

If you have the discipline to wait until the cookie cools all those chocolate pools solidify into huge nuggets of gooey goodness.  No one ever said these little chocolate gems would last long in your house - or mine!
