It's Christmas Eve in Honolulu! Join me, Angela, and my husband Bryce while we decorate our tree. We'll take a drive to see the Christmas lights though Waikiki and downtown Honolulu.
You know what the song says "here we know that Christmas will be green and bright!" Mele Kalikimaka from Honolulu!

I'm getting ready for my very last trip of 2019, a visit to New York, New York and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
My husband, Bryce, and I are spending 3 days exploring in NYC before we head to my hometown of Pittsburgh for 5 days, for Christmas! Follow Figs and Flights on Instagram and Facebook to watch the trip unfold. Since my freshman year at Penn State I have been collecting Christmas tree ornaments. My Mom gifts them to me almost every year, and a few friends and family have contributed over the years.
When my parents stepped foot into my house for the very first time two years ago, they dropped a small suitcase off, instructing me to keep the bag and its contents. Clearly they were ready to unload some of the stuff they'd been holding onto for 6 years (and many apartments) of my life. I was excited to find that the bag was full of my PSU ornaments. Last year I snagged a white tree at an after Christmas sale. This year my life goal of having a Penn State Christmas tree came true! We've made it to day 18. It's officially time for questioning why did I ever commit to 25 days of activities and posts!? It's been mostly fun doing this Advent calendar/Christmas countdown but I'm feeling a wee bit like a South Pole elf as I'm taking food photos in the 7 am hour...
Regardless, here we are! Day 18 included making chocolate saltine bark. I'm too impatient to bake so this recipe for melting things is a winner. I made two pans: one with mint chips and chocolate chips, another with butterscotch and chocolate chips. The mint chocolate bark turned out great, while the butterscotch chocolate bark was a total bust! You'll see that we still picked at the butterscotch mess, despite it being a wreck. |
