I've decided to maximize the drinking over the holidays. The only question is,

[crim son]

when should I start? And who will be around Christmas Eve to keep me company?

[TK421]

1. I will...if I can find a way to Maine!

[crim son]

3. That would be delightful!

I'll leave the back door open, mmkay?

[TK421]

5. I will bring Barefoot Chardonnay ( a case of it ) and maybe some lobster pizza

and....anything else you would like me to bring? :loveya:

[crim son]

6. Beautiful!

Make a couple bottle of that the Barefoot Saurvignon Blanc, bring yourself and we'll be all set! :bounce:

[TK421]

12. I think I can manage that! You don't like reds?

:-) cause I could throw in a cab if you want!

[crim son]

16. Oh YEAH I like reds.

For a sec I thought you wrote you could throw me in a cab!

[TK421]

20. I think I should go to bed now....with a huge....

smile on my face!!! :blush:

[crim son]

21. Awwww.

I think that's cute, and I haven't had a drop to drink yet! :hug:

[TK421]

22. You haven't been drinking?....FUCK!!@@@@! I take back everything I just posted!!!12

:D seriously, I would love to make it up there ( with the wine ) I'll be lucky to make rent this month...I can only dream.

Good night!!

[crim son]

23. Maybe some day.

Good night & sleep tight, TK421!!

[AngryAmish]

2. Already started my friend, already started...

Open house today, cutting up potatoes for the duck fat potatoes, listening to Dolly on the boom box, drinking a Smithwicks.

[crim son]

4. That's quite an image, heh.

I have laundry to do... maybe I need a Bloody Mary.

[graywarrior]

7. You should have started Oct 30.

WTF is wrong with you?

[redwitch]

8. No kidding! What a slacker!

Some people just avoid Christmas until the very last minute.

[graywarrior]

11. Pitiful.

I'd have been tossed out of every bar within a 10 mile radius of my home bar by Thanksgiving! And banned for life from a few!

[crim son]

14. Okay, I'll start tonight, but not until I make a batch of

Nanaimo bars.

[crim son]

13. I've been trying to clean up my act.

Now it's time to get dirty again!

[graywarrior]

15. Be sure to have a digital camera with you at all times

[crim son]

17. Cuz you know

I love to be photographed :P

[graywarrior]

24. You C R A V E it ! !

[ipfilter]

9. No better time to start than now. It's 5 O'clock somewhere.

[crim son]

18. I'm not thirsty yet.

Gimme an hour and my first toast will be to you... ipfilter... do I know you? :D

[MrCoffee]

10. I'll be drinking Christmas dinner from a bottle again this year

[crim son]

19. That's my favorite way to do turkey.

I have the kids Christmas Day but the Eve is all my own so I've got eggnog, and rum.

[Sky Masterson]

25. Try something warm

Like cocoa and peppermint schnapps.
I'll most likely have a few glasses of wine and maybe some Baileys and coffee.
:hi:

[crim son]

26. Something warm sounds great right now

& it'll probably sound even better tomorrow. It's a gorgeous winter night, not too cold at nineteen degrees with a dusting of fresh snow. No real wind, the smell of wood smoke in the air. Every now and then Maine is the place to be. Hi, Sky! :hi:

[Sky Masterson]

28. Hi, Crimmy!

:hi: and Happy Christmas to you my friend! :pals: :loveya:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

27. Thanks for the reminder.

I need to stop at the liquor store.

[crim son]

30. I'm here for you! n/t

[Aristus]

29. I'll probably pop in to say 'hi' and see how you are doing, crim son.

I'll be hosting the extended family's Christmas Eve celebration, which, if you know anything about my family, can be really exhausting. Fortunately, my drama-queen sister-in-law and her five daughters usually provide enough of a distraction that I can slip away for a breather, and a chance to see what's happening in the Lounge.

Have a few strong ones for me, sweetie! Hope to see you then... :hi::loveya:

[crim son]

31. I'll be here unless Santa slips down the chimney bringing

me a brand new man :) And I'm having a glass of wine right now, to warm up. :loveya: Family get togethers. I know they can be tough but I'll tell you, they beat wrapping Christmas presents alone. :hug:

[AsahinaKimi]

32. Since technically

I don't celebrate the holidays until the New Year, I will be around, and I have three drinks of choice available in my refridgerator:

1. One can of Asahi Beer
2. A bottle of red wine
3. A jar of Japanese plum wine, Choya Umeshu.

Perhaps if you are in the lounge we can toast each other! Kampaii!!

[crim son]

33. I will be very pleased to toast you, AsahinaKimi,

with whatever beverage you prefer!
