T Stands For Spicy Black Tea

We're starting today by choosing a tea packet.

Inspired by this Christmas season, it is cinnamon spice, a spicy black tea.

Although I'm not much of a tea drinker, this sounded incredible. 
Now it just needed to steep.

Gotta love the tea tag, too.  It never hurts to tout your name.

While the tea steeped, I thought I would show where I finally had to move the tree that was on the floor.  BTW, the black at the top of the baseboard is not dirt, but where I've actually scrubbed so hard, the paint wore off.  Leave it to me to get over zealous in my cleaning efforts.

Last night I decided to raise my flash and take a photo of my lit tree.  Of course, the lights didn't show up

until I photographed it in the dark.  Silly me had the lights on blink mode, rather than still mode, so some were turning on, while others were turning off.


Of course, I got distracted and drank much of this wonderful tea before I even got a photo of it.  In fact, I made a second cup using the same tea bag.  Yes, it was as wonderful as it sounded.

Now it's your turn to share your T related post.  Some of you have been worried that your entries might not be appropriate.  Let me repeat that ANYTHING drink related is acceptable.  If you create a piece of art that has a drink showing, if you have empty cups and saucers, if you have a movie, if you have a postcard, if you have a vignette of cups holding a plant, if you have a tea (or any) cup Christmas tree, if you are out and about where a drink is involved, even if it's a sign of a drink, please feel free to share it.  The MORE UNIQUE, the better Bleubeard and I like it.

It doesn't matter what day you take your photos.  They could be from last year, as far as I'm concerned.  But once you decide on a post, please link below with a direct link only, please, not your blog in general.  Then Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.



When this post goes live, I will be away from home.  Several of my friends and I are meeting at 4:00 pm, then, after we exchange gifts, we will go to an early dinner.  Next, we will climb in my friend's van and try to find a few houses with Christmas lights.  I hope to be home by 9:00 pm, but since I haven't seen these gals in awhile, we may end up talking most of the night.  However, if you're an early poster, I'll be by to visit as soon as I get home.
