I have some of that Shiraz at my parents' house. I think that'll be my drink of choice for a merry, merry Christmas this Saturday



"Mom got drunk and dad got drunk...at the Christmas party..."

You know that song?
--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Its Robert Earl Keen...its a great ending.

Here's the lyrics:

Quote

Merry Christmas From the Family
by Robert Earl Keen Jr.

G C9
Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
G C9
At our Christmas party
G Em
We were drinkin' champagne punch
C D
And homemade eggnog
G C9
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
G C9
He was a Mexican
G Em
We didn't know what to think of him
C D
'Til he sang Feliz Navidad
G
Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
>From his second wife MaryNell
Of course he brought his new wife Kaye
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin' while the stero plays
Noel, Noel, The first Noel

CHORUS:

D
Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
C
Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone
D
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store
C
We need some ice and an extention cord
D
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
C
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights
G Em
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
C D G
Merry Christmas from the family


Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motorhome in
They blew our christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent Night

CHORUS:

Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on
Make Bloody Marys cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Dite Sprite
A box of tampons and some Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Feliz Navidad.

That song rocks! Jill Sobule's cover of it gets a lot of radio airplay around here at Christmastime. I think I even have it on an album... which I would know if I'd ever bothered to drag out my box o' Christmas stuff this year!

yellow tail shiraz is good. So is their chardonnay. Really nice aroma on that one, you should try it.

another inexpensive, but good, aussie wine is Black Pearl shiraz. it's been written up in wine magazines. costs about the same as yellow tail.

shiraz is good for making mulled wine, if you're into that sort of thing for the holidays.

Yup, I've had that as well. Most of their wines are pretty good.

Have you had any Messina Hof?
