Merry Christmas! And here we are again, at Christmas. The 2020 version will be remembered as unique. For many of us, these holidays simply aren’t as merry as they were in past years.

But as I see on social media and as I hear from family and friends who have contacted me, we are all making the best of our specific situations.

Trees were put up and decorated, nativity scenes were lovingly displayed, gifts were purchased and given with joy, and Santa came down as many chimneys as he could–after all, Santa did get a green light from Dr. Fauci, right? Whew!

I hope all my family and friends found reasons to celebrate today.

My cocktail today is my version of a Peppermint Martini. In a shaker filled with ice, combine 1 ounce vanilla vodka, 1 ounce clear creme de cacao, and 1/2 ounce peppermint schnapps. Shake well and strain into a glass.

Merry Christmas!
