How to Keep Santa Overnight

Make your jolly ol' guest feel more than welcome by setting out homemade cookies, chocolates, and tea from my shop's Treats and Sweets section.

See the latest addition to this yummy shop section, Sugar Plums à la Chocolaté; a naturally rich and decadent dried fruit is simply dipped in dark chocolate and is transformed into this lovely little treat.

Or try the classic Christmas cookie on Santa this year; there are several different cookies to choose from.

Also featured in this section is the tea fabricated by none other than Shakespeare himself; a lovely light floral peppermint tea mentioned in Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale: Shakespeare Tea Blend.
