We’ve all seen and heard of the booze-based advent calendars. Here’s one for the 12 Days of Christmas per the song. Contrary to the McKenzie Brothers’ deductions, I learned through an NPR DJ that these 12 days begin today (12/26 or Boxing Day) and runs until January 6th (Epiphany or Three Kings Day). The math did prove it.
Originally Jennifer wanted to get an advent one with either a beer or whisky of the day. We both found out the hard way, you need to pounce on them much earlier than the first week of December. Next year we’ll be on the looking starting Halloween. Meanwhile I found this set up at the nearby Aldi. What is it exactly? Tiny bottles of Irish creams mixed in what the box says is wine. Ugh. Dairy rarely ends well with alcohol or fish, but, any port in a storm. We shared the first one. I’ve consumed worse things: Old Style, Pabst in a can, wine coolers and avocados. The second bottle is chilling the fridge.
Definitely trying harder on the advent calendar stuff.
