Hi Ladyspeedy! I kind of associate LOTR with X-mas since it was released around that time and it was when I would fly back to the mainland to visit my folks. For some reason I associate Harry Potter with X-mas and Thanksgiving because of the movie marathons during that time.

Since the topics of drinks hasd come up, I am so delightfully happy that peppermint mochas and gingerbread lattes have made their appearance back on the menus of all the different coffee places!!! Sugar + caffeine=Happy Bubbies
