'Twas Two Nights Before Christmas...

The Fam and guests will be arriving in a couple of hours for Christmas festivities so this will probably be it for today. We know it sounds trite but take a moment over the next few days to ponder just how good we have it here. Honestly, despite all the hand-wringing and doom and glooming we get bombarded with on a daily basis, we as Americans are so fortunate to be living in the time and place we are now.

Take a moment also to express some skyward gratitude to our men and women in uniform who are deployed overseas and aren't able to be with their loved ones. Its because of them we are able to fight with family, eat and drink to excess, exchange half-hearted warm wishes and generally lose perspective of what this season should be all about in our fat, dumb and happy state as Americans circa 2007.

So on behalf of St. Nick and Marshall, we at Beers with Demo want to wish everyone a safe and blessed Christmas. Merry Christmas!!!
