New Christmas drink I'm trying tonight. Cranberry Gin and Tonic.
Boil fresh cranberries with a little bit of sugar, separate the reduction from the boiled down berries and reserve them. Pour a bit of that in with some Beefeater (lots) and tonic (less) and add a few of the reserved berries and a lime wedge.
Gotta say, it's pretty damn good!I still call it The Jake.

^^^^^Mmmmmm, that sounds good. Without snow on the ground outside and little kids in the house, I just don't feel the whole Christmas happy buzz until maybe 48 hours before party time with the extended family. As much as I pretend I am not into little kids, they are great to have around to get you in the mood for the holidays, birthdays, Walt Disney movies etc. So you guys with little kids, enjoy the happy buzz they bring to the season. In the meantime, I am going to try BmillsSkier's recipe to get to my own happy place tonight.

I got it from an old Christmas issue of Gourmet Magazine. Here's the link: http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/2000s...gin-and-tonics
Of course when I'm drinking for one I reduce the amounts but the gist of the cranberry reduction is the same; get that and just add it to a gin and tonic - good stuff and it does feel like a nice holiday drink!I still call it The Jake.

That sounds fucking amazing. Wife and I are trying it tomorrow night while watching White Christmas. I haven't been able to find the old school Miracle on 34th Street; the one from the 40's I think.
Watched It's A Wonderful Life a few days ago. That flick never fails to get the waterworks flowing.

Bump.
Figure it'd be nice to not think about horrible tragedies, fiscal cliffs, gun control and the like for a bit - the US seems to be in a (understandable) funk this December.
I'm trying my hand at this cocktail to start then move on to some nog, bourbon and whatnot.

Merry Christmas. and a Happy New Year to all the Maggots.
I am being selfish and keeping Christmas low key this year. I took a week off from work and am enjoying just doing whatever I like. Made the usual feel good donations to salvation army, local homeless shelter. Bouhgt and donated a couple toys. And that is about it.
Regardless of the news and recent local loss of life skiing. Life is pretty dam good in my world.
I was a bit dissapointed to hear the Garbage trunk come up the street @ 7:30 this morning? What the heck, on Christmas morning?Own your fail. ~Jer~

I'm not really a fan of this holiday due to the materialistic idea of giving tons of gifts. However, being a guinea Xmas eve is quite special for us. The dinner was fantastic, 7 fish, and some snow fell in these parts to finally make it feel like the holidays. Now I don't want to move today!
Merry Xmas to all!

Police say that Santos backed up and drove his car at the victims. He hit them in the front lawn of one of the homes. Police say that Santos got out and started kicking the man in the head and body.

I'm not sure if it's the tv edited version of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation but I never caught that Aunt Bethany says as she arrives at the Griswald Home, "Don't throw me down Clark!"
