Re: The December To Do List Happy Ho Ho (and then some)
Now, we need a flavor to savour. And as usual, my mind begins to wander as soon as this subject arises! (as well as many other times throughout the day )
But, this time I have an idea and it's a pretty good one if I do say so myself (and I do) This month we spend a lot of time thinking about the holidays so why not make the holidays the flavor of the month? No no, you don't have to eat your calendar I'm talking about holiday flavors. Egg Nog (and any other nog you happen to be into) You know the other nogs really dont get nearly the love they deserve. You almost never hear about any other nogs. Why does it always have to be about egg nog? It's always egg nog, egg nog, egg nog.... Oops, sorry about that. (wandering mind thing again) Anywho, peppermint is another holiday flavor (and who doesnt like a hint of minty freshness) so is cinnamon and gingerbread amongst others so I am submitting holiday flavors as the flavor of the month to the judges. And the judges say......
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!?!? tough call here, they are really mulling this over like they have never mulled before. Seems like they might be trying to add some kind of amendment to this. Wait, here they come with the official ruling and it reads...
To whom it may concern. We the judges have accepted the idea of holiday flavors as the flavor of the month and would like to add the gooseberries and snozzberries be included with any and all holiday flavors as we the judges just kinda dig gooseberries and snozzberries. So let it be known throughout the land (and try to get it in a little earlier Greg! SHEESH! ) the holiday flavors shall be the flavor of the month. And, you know the rest. There you have it sports fans (and non sports fans) the flavor of the month is officially holiday flavors! And, sorry it was so late!
