Caudle seems to embody the warmth and welcome of Christmas with all the hospitality and kindness that goes with it. I am tempted to try some - and possibly offer it too 🙏😊

Really wonderful post. I had no idea of the history of gossiping, but it makes perfect sense.

It takes a village to raise a child, right from the start.
