Christmas Morning Cafe

Just an update … I haven’t posted in a while, here’s why. Sept. 6th I was in an accident , totaled my truck. Beat and banged up, nothing broken. Plenty of x-rays , ct scans and MRI’s later, and therapy..well I inherited a viral infection they could never identify. 12 days or so of misery.. that all put a damper on my projects which I am now back to so expect something soon..

Okay… I think I can show you just a LITTLE bit. 🎄

When I started going through the old photographs, recipes and memories from A Christmas Morning Café, I really didn’t know where all of this was going.

Well… now I do.

And what started as a little trip down memory lane has turned into something I’m pretty darn excited about.

There are recipes I haven’t looked at in years, stories I’d almost forgotten, photographs that stopped me in my tracks—and a few memories that still make me laugh.

So here’s your first tiny peek.

No, I’m still not telling you exactly what it is. 😁

But we’re getting closer.

A quick Christmas Morning Cafe update.

First of all…. Thank you.

Seeing so many of you asking if the Cafe is coming back has been incredibly humbling. It means more to me than you know.
While, this isn’t an announcement about reopening the Cafe, it is something that has been inspired by all of the wonderful memories we shared there.
My hope is to bring a little of that Christmas Morning Cafe spirit back into your homes in a new way.
I’m looking forward to sharing more with you very soon.
Thank you for keeping those memories alive.

Christmas in July….Part 2

Something funny has happened over the past couple of weeks… what started as a walk down memory lane has become something much bigger than I ever expected. I’ve spent hours reading old newspaper articles, looking through photographs, and dusting off handwritten recipes that haven’t seen the light of day in a couple of years. Every time I think I’ve reached the end of the memories, another story found this way back. Some made me laugh, some have surprise me, and more than one has brought a tear to my eye. I’m still not quite ready to share exactly what I’m working on….. but I can tell you this, if Christmas Morning Cafe was ever a special part of your life, I think you’re going to enjoy where this journey leads.
Thank you for coming along with me.
More soon…
Mr. Craig

🎄 Christmas in July!
Over the past few months, I've been taking a walk down memory lane... digging through old photographs, newspaper articles, handwritten recipes, and memories from A Christmas Morning Café.
The response over the years has amazed me. So many of you have asked for recipes, shared your favorite memories, and reminded me how special those years were.
Because of that... I've started working on something that will let those memories live on.
I'll share more as the project develops, but I wanted to let you know that Christmas Morning Café isn't forgotten.
❤️
