Have a Big Loud Smashing Christmas Day!

Break the gloom with this cheerful gift of trumpets, trombones, saxophones, guitars, double bass, drums, a piano and a host of heavenly singers

Have cheer, my marvelous readers and, no matter what, may your day be merry and as bright as can be!

Love,

America Eats! (and Pat)!

Mom’s festive recipe for whatever ails you

1 good dose of whiskey (bottom shelf will do)

a dollop of honey

1 cup of strong hot black tea

Pour whiskey into a teacup or mug. Add honey and stir until well combined. Top with as much tea as there’s room left in the cup. Stir. Sip through the day while listening to a bunch of swinging, toe-tapping Christmas music.
