Christmas is the one time of the year when my whole family is able to get together. Now that my brothers and I are grown up and have families of our own, our it’s often a challenge getting our schedules to sync. This said, we always make sure to coordinate our vacation time for Christmas. It’s extremely important for us to celebrate together.
When I think of all the food around the holidays, I think of turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and my husband’s favourite, smoked ham.
I thought about a new tradition we could also have during the holidays, since Hubby and my nieces and nephew are all pizza lovers. What about making homemade pizzas for those days when we have had our fill of leftover turkey and stuffing?
Being a fan of all things kitchen (appliances, gadgets, etc), the Breville Crispy Crust Pizza Maker caught my attention!

For all the pizza lovers on your list, this would be the perfect gift! You may want to pick one up for yourself too! Or just get one for yourself and invite everyone over for pizza!
Breville’s compact countertop machine will change your life. Thanks to powerful dual heating elements and a built-in baking stone, it produces extraordinary, brick- oven-style pizzas in about ten minutes. Whether you prefer New York’s classic thin pizzas or hearty thick crust pies, you’ll enjoy crispy, golden crusts and perfectly cooked toppings—every time.
I love how the countertop pizza maker gives you professional brick-oven results, right in your own kitchen.
It’s the gift everyone will love! Make the moment – with Breville.

MY moments are thought of my dad at Christmas. He grew up on a farm with 5 siblings. He never said but I don’t think they had much for Christmas. As a adult and especially with her grandkids he became a kid a Christmas. His giggle when opening gifts was like a childs. I will never forget it. He took a million pictures of us all as if he could not get enough of us. Things that you miss once they are gone but my memory of his always is strongest at Christmas time.
