Open quote in Hattingdon brown.

When it comes to special holiday desserts this plum pudding recipe is one of the best. Packed with the warm flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, it’s a deeply-spiced dessert that’s perfect for family get togethers or a celebratory meal. The tender and moist pudding is dotted with bits of chewy fruits, like golden raisins, currants and dates that help offer sweet flavor and complex texture. Shredded carrots add even more sweetness to the comforting dessert that gets topped off with a sweet and tangy homemade hard sauce.

Prep: 30 min. Cook: 2 hours. Recipe at ‘Taste of Home’ »

Kris Kringle ’24

Kris wraparound Santa Hat with black belt.

Hello and welcome. It is nice to see you.

Vivian named today’s Christmas hat Kris (as in Kris Kringle) after the jolly old elf himself. It is a lovely wraparound hat, inspired by Santa’s red suit and wide black belt. So stylish and so delightful. And a big favourite.

The jolly old man in red

Open quote clipart in Hattingdon brown. By Vivian.

Santa Claus—otherwise known as Saint Nicholas or Kris Kringle—has a long history steeped in Christmas traditions.

Today, he is thought mainly as the jolly man in red who brings toys to good girls and boys on Christmas Eve, but his story stretches all the way back to the 3rd century, when Saint Nicholas walked the earth and became the patron saint of children.  See good read at History.com »

It is an amazing story with a fascinating history.

Vivian has put together an array of very nice hats for Hattingdon to wear this Christmas. While putting it together in her head, she thought . . . hmmmm, how about posting something fun too — that will bring everyone a “hatful of smiles”. Here’s Rudy.

Oh. Don’t go away until you have read about the squatchee. Who knew? None of us did.

The Squatchee

Do you know what a squatchee is? We didn’t. However, every ball cap in the world has one. Have you guessed?

“The squatchee is the button on top of a ball cap. It is also sometimes called the squatcho. In addition to being on top of the cap, the button is at the center, where all of the panels meet.” 

Not one of us here had heard of it. Did you know? Hmm. The things you learn blogging a hat crazy cartoon horse. Hahaha! Read more about the squatchee at Hat Heaven »

About the cap

The Rudy Hattingdon design begins with a red ballcap with a diamond pattern in white, studded in green with a green brim. Add golden brown antlers, and you have a Christmas hat that will give just about anyone — even a Scrooge — a “hatful of smiles”. And maybe even a bit of chuckling too.

Love y’all. H&Co.

The Chrissie fashion hat is made of a round, black dome surrounded with a luscious green tilted brim, and trimmed with two large and festive poinsettias.

What a stunning look, and so very merry. We hope you love it too.
