2 oz. vodka
1 oz. pepermint schnapps (regular or 100 proof)

Combine with crushed ice in a cocktail shaker and shake. Pour into a cocktail (martini glass) and garnish with a minature candy cane. Allow drink to sit for at least a minute for the candy to begin to disolve and cast a pink mist throughout the drink.

A Santa Baby is the same thing with the pepermint flavored schnapps replaced with cinammon.

Cheers

So your not happy enough to have a pink kilt, you have to have pink christmas drinks too. Is there no end?

I probably get the award for the most Christmas stuff. I have a big outdoor Light Show that I do every year. And every year is different. I spent, so far, 13 hours on computer programming, 35 hours of set up with 80 separate circuits of lights, 2 lasers, and thousands of lights. Now I am into the testing stage, but the computer didn't communicate with the units that make the lights work according to the music people hear on their vehicle radio. I will post a link and videos later on.

DALE.

Pffffttt, you fellows have nothing on me. Yesterday afternoon, I lit an apple/cinnamon scented candle.

I'm still exhausted from the effort.

I may light it again on Christmas Eve, but I'm trying not to over-exert myself with all the festivities of decorating for the holiday. There's nothing quite like being an empty-nester.

I put up the tree sometime around dec 20, then i go upstairs for a nap and when im done the tree is all done by my wife and son. Ever since i was a kid i hated triming the tree. Comes from a highly dysfunctional family.

Our nest is empty but my better half is not satisfied until we have lights drapped across the roof, candles in the windows, themed bric-a-brac everywhere, at least one nativity scene and three (that's 3!) Christmas trees; the largest of which has a Christmas train running around it. All that and we're always out of the country on the 25th.

It's a bit over the top.

The house was easy; Plugged in the icicles permanently installed on porch; Nativity scenes for Living room, Library, Den; unfold & plug in fibre-optic tree from Big lots; loop cord between display cases to hold cards.
The big hassle is going to be decorating the Chapel & drag out the 5' foot Nativity figures after Sunday Mass(23rd) and set up in time for Midnight Mass (10.00pm these days in Los Angeles, I know, don't mention GUNS) on Monday night.
Last year was worse as Christmas eve was Sunday night. Phew! what a rush! Barely finished in time. (no one thinks to volunteer to help set up). As Advent precedes Christmas it is inappropriate to make the church 'Christmassy' until the actual day (25th); The real Christmas Season lasts from Dec 25th to January 6th. [unlike the 'financial xmas season' October thru January].
