Are you a get dressed up or a stay in your pajamas all day type of person for Christmas day? While I will typically never say no to getting dressed up and going out, Christmas mornings, in my opinion, are MADE for fleece-lined leggings, a fluffy robe, and cozy socks (and a mug of Crockpot Hot Chocolate or Mulled Wine).

I know everyone has an opinion on what makes the best potato salad, and (I might be in the minority on this) I think most of them are wrong. With the exception of vinaigrette-based potato salads and Pesto Potato Salad, just above every potato salad I’ve tried has been drowned in mayo, the texture is monotone and mushy, and the taste beyond bland.
