Merry Christmas Eve, SI!
I know getting through Christmas can be tough, so I wanted there to be a place where people can stop in for a little holiday love if they need to.
In keeping with the SI guidelines, this is an infidelity-free zone, so venting will have to take place in other forums.
But when you need a break, and some calorie-free, virtual drinks and goodies, this is THE place to hangout. Oh, and don't be scared off if there's some talk about dancing on the bar. That's strictly optional. 
I'll be in and out, but hopefully some of our other bar thread regulars will stop in and help out. Everyone is welcome. If you're new to F&G and don't get an instant response, please be patient. I promise, we are not ignoring you. We're probably just out gathering more glitter. 
I'm sure I'll switch to Christmas music later on, but for now I'll leave you with this song, and raise my glass, er..coffee mug, to us all -

Sazzy, love that Calvin + Hobbes. Reminds me of my old Siamese cats in front of the fire. 
Fine day here, will be getting my flabby ass out for a ride before lunch and cocktails at the Bengal Lounge with a pal.
Will check in here tonight, to raise a toast and witness the dancing.

Taking it easy now. Santa came this morning. We have church in about 3 hours then Christmas Eve dinner with the kiddoes and then I bring them to their mother. After that it's opening SI Glitter cards by the light of the tree. I will definitely be here tonight to ring in the cheer and laugh and cry over my cards with you all.

Eggnog, Bundaberg rum and Southern Comfort here. Drink up cuz it really is totally calorie-free! Best kind of eggnog.
We're enjoying Christmas Eve, but Merry Christmas Day to our Aussie friends.
I'll be back later, opening cards, too...... maybe a little wine then?
Finding what life could have been....... Why didn't I see it?
