I couldn't agree more.
Who can forget the first vigorous infusion of Fall in Metairie? Glorious chilly evenings suggesting sweater weather is nigh coupled with the faint whiff of Bogulasa drifting on the north breezes and mingling with the steamy rich frothy fragrance of marshmallows and hot chocolate.
My first hot cup of the season is always taken in my favorite Frankhoma mug.
However, post 1st Advent, all subsequent hot chocolates-(and, when putting up lights and decorations, the occasional fortified egg nogs)-are taken from mugs that are the best possible alternatives to Santa mugs.
Cordially,

Friend,
Those are exceptional mugs from which I would gladly drink. The Frankhoma mug is beautiful. Mother usually drinks her chocolate from a mug made by George Ohr. Its lip is formed like a belt and its handle like a vine. It is quite an interesting piece, but far too nice for me to use. It is not a puzzle mug, that is a mug with many holes on its side. Ohr was famous for this type of mug which required the drinker to find the one hole through which he could imbibe without spilling the liquid down the chin. Ohr is one of the only positive exports of Biloxi, a rather depressing place that I still do not believe played a role in the invention of Barq’s rootbeer.
I want to wish you a very Merry Front Day. May the compliments of this day carry forth in your heart until our thanksgiving and Advent.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

Friend,
I’ve said this before, but I think of that much beloved and misunderstood character Ignatius J Reilly when I read your posts. Not that I think you share a lot with him. However, your persistence in attempting to bring the masses of this wretched den the smallest bit of culture and enlightenment is surely something Ignatius would have done.
Thankfully, you do not wish to organize us into a collective or any of the other questionable actions taken by our friend Ignatius. Instead you focus on what is good and worthy of consideration in our sometimes dark world, whether it is a grand thing or something as simple as a good cup of hot chocolate.
For that, I remain,
Gratefully yours,
A friend

Friend,
Wishing Mother and yourself a joyous front day. Is there anything quite like taking a stroll in nature with a cup of hot chocolate in your hand?
All the best,
NIH

Good list, as per usual, TulaneLSU.
Have you perchance tried Williams Sonoma peppermint hot chocolate? I saw you listed the regular, but I like the peppermint version. It’s pretty good.
Also curious to see...some people apparently make hot chocolate with water (
) and I remember they’d serve it like that out of big thermoses at sports games/camping and the like growing up. But does everyone agree that with the exception of large-scale hot chocolate dispensation, a higher fat quantity milk should always be used for hot chocolate?

Color me SHOCKED! A meal consisting of an Oyster Poboy and a Barq's, a meal that's borderline sacramental to any Metairie person living in exile, having even the most tenuous of ties to Biloxi sails perilously close to the shoals of heresy.
Nevertheless, not even that grim news can dampen the glorious time Mrs. M. and I are enjoying out and about celebrating this special day of days.
Best wishes!

The wife got an invitation last Christmas season to come to Cartier's on Fifth Ave for hot chocolate. So we went into the city for lunch, shopping and hot chocolate at Cartier's. Best hot chocolate we've ever had. I had mine with caramel whipped cream, she had the little marshmallows from their hot chocolate charcuterie board.

Max Brenner’s in New York City is the best hot chocolate I have had.
