There's something genuinely sweet about a child who insists on warming the milk just right before leaving it out for Santa. This version adds a spoonful of honey and a drop of vanilla — not enough to complicate anything, just enough to make it feel intentional. It's a ten-minute recipe with a much longer memory.
