The spirit of the Season Advent truly begins when for the first time hearing WHAM’s hit at the shopping malls … Last Christmas tune.

There is not a better thing around Xmas time when it gets chilly and need to warm up or just enjoy the flavor, to have carefully a mixture of either red or white wine seasoning hot drink with added cinnamon, cloves and oranges.
