The Coffee Before Christmas Begins
Share
Christmas morning eventually becomes loud.
Wrapping paper everywhere.
Music playing.
Food cooking.
People talking across rooms.
But there’s usually a tiny moment before all of that begins.
The house is still quiet.
The lights on the tree are glowing.
And someone starts making coffee.
We love that moment.
The First Cup
Maybe you drink it while everyone else is still asleep.
Maybe someone joins you in the kitchen.
Maybe you’re preparing breakfast while holding your mug in one hand.
There’s nothing particularly extraordinary happening.
And somehow…
that’s exactly what makes it special.
The Rituals We Remember
We spend so much time preparing for Christmas that it’s easy to rush through the actual day.
This year, don’t.
Make the coffee you love.
Use the mug you always reach for.
Sit near the tree.
Take ten quiet minutes before everything begins.
These small rituals eventually become traditions.
And traditions eventually become memories.
From everyone behind Don Eugenio Café,
Merry Christmas.
May your home be full, your coffee be fresh, and your morning be wonderfully slow.
