Bird Day: Day after Shopping and Day of Drinking

pre.s. I forgot to post the link to the images of our Turkey vacation. So in case you have not seen them yet, click here to check them out.

Fun Stuff:

First of all, if you are wondering if we will be giving thanks, i.e. Eating buttloads of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and cranberry sauce, this Thursday, the answer is no. We have differed that until Saturday. But do not shed a tear for us. We will, on Saturday, ingest enough tryptophan laced bird meat to put us in a coma until our next Thanksgiving in the U.S.

So, on to the subject at hand. How to conduct holiday shopping starting the day after turkey day. We all look forward to drive from home through hours of crazy mall-shopper traffic, the parking lot that we did not realize was so big, the joy of picking up interesting-looking garments from the floor where they have fallen after multiple removals and failed replacements to the rack, the inevitable good find in the wrong size with no similar garment of the correct size anywhere to be found, the line that goes out into the parking lot and all the way to your car which you know you will never find again, finally you pay for that ugly purple turtleneck that you are sure she won't like, but you don't care because... Oh crap! Forgot the receipt.

My recommendation is to avoid it all and shop on-line ;o)

Wine Stuff:

The big question, that I am sure is on everyone's mind right now, is what wine to drink with Thanksgiving dinner. The best thing to do, is to take stock of all your wine and spirits the day before Thanksgiving. Then on Turkey-day, DRINK IT ALL! Take inventory again the next day, and if you have anything left, you have something to improve upon for next year.



happy drinking and Turkey-day,
