Day 5: Make the Perfect Wintertime Drink!
When it's cold and snowy out, Mrs. Claus likes to make Wintertime Cider to warm up all of the elves and Santa. Santa makes a fire in the fireplace and all of the elves busy themselves eating all of the cookies and pie Mrs. Claus made that day. Then they all drink Wintertime Cider and tell stories into the wee hours of the morning.
Why don't you and your parents make some Wintertime Cider this evening? It's a snowy day and it would be a great way to spend some quality time together.
