Christmas is getting closer and closer and there’s nothing I love more than a good cup of hot chcoloate! I mean, how can you watch The Polar Express without a mug of Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot Chocolate?!! And yes, I know its really easy to just add some hot water to a packet of hot chocolate mix, but there’s just something about homemade hot chocolate that not only my boys love, but I love making it for them too!
