In the very first scene, Lucy is drinking a peppermint mocha latte. I'm personally more of a gingerbread latte girl, but peppermint seemed to work better for Lucy. Also, when I first got married, I didn't have a coffee maker. I know. Crazy, right?
But I was twenty-one and living in Manhattan. It didn't seem like that big a deal. What I did have, however, was a canister of International House Peppermint Suisse Mocha and one mug that I received as a wedding present. I made do.
Candy canes are actually one of my secret weapons for staying in a Christmasy mood while writing Christmas stories out of season. My father loved them and so does my grandson. This makes total sense considering that my sister and I joke all the time about how my grandson is our father reincarnated.
The first time my grandson saw my parents dining room chairs--my sister had shipped them to me and they were in my garage--he turned to me accusingly and demanded, "What did you do? Those were my favorite chairs!"
He was five. I've yet to recover.
