We have lots of bourbons in our bar and I'd love to make the one you made. Also, here we can't get sweet apple cider, so we always substitute with apple juice.

Yippee for finding a new spot with good cider and eats! Your cards are delightful. Isn't it nice to have a resident bartender?! We are in Coeur d'Alene right now, staying at the resort. It has been a nice break from the world. Happy to return home today to my already decorated home. I will finish up the Christmas cards tomorrow and get them in the mail.

It would be just one of the exciting seasonal events to many people but some people understand its essential meaning, love and forgiveness. Like you, special songs get me into the mood for Christmas and I like the excitement in the air when strolling around. To me, Christmas spirit is the joy of giving and sharing and the warmth of family being together. New Year is more important culturally and how to spend the day is like your Christmas; traditional cuisine, presents, games, visiting shrine or temple, and so on. Your cards are lovely – you’re so talented as I have always thought. With best wishes to you for the holiday season.<br /><br />Yoko<br /><br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-42507452670684079302020-12-07T07:02:52.097-07:002020-12-07T07:02:52.097-07:00I can feel your Christmas spirit down here!
