There’s something about a holiday that falls on a Monday that just begs for the excuse to drink before noon. Spoken like a true lush, I know.

In my neighborhood the family across the street distributes pitchers of Gin Fizz to all the other homes up and down the street at 10AM. Not only is this a cool tradition it also means I don’t have to come up with the excuse to get “merry” on Christmas Day before noon, my neighbor does it for me.

Needless to say, an hour-and-a-half later I’m a touch Fizzizled. It makes the fact that I’m not at work and that my kids are off playing with their new-found gadgets with a smile even more enjoyable.

Tonight is Prime Rib and a bold red wine… Greasy Meat and Big Reds, I might have to write about that when I pick out the wine later.

Merry Christmas all~

Cheers!
