Well, thanks to some good friends…

… I survived Thanksgiving.

But in all seriousness, I do have a lot to be thankful for this year. I’m for the most part healthy, very happy and am blessed with a beautiful family. Despite all of the hardships we had to endure in late spring, we came out on top. It’s been a great year in that regard.

What are you thankful for?

Happy holidays, you miserable bastards! If you’ve got to put up with family for extended periods of time, you probably lean awfully hard on your old pal Booze – I know I do.

So tomorrow, when I’m gathered around family trying desperately to protect my newborn daughter from the germs of relatives, I’m turning to Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale – in my humble opinion, the king of all seasonal beers.

So raise a glass and toast sanity – and Sierra Nevada. After all, they’re doing all the hard work!
