56, LET'S ENJOY CHRISTMAS Christmas will soon be here with the fridge full of low alcohol beer. We're counting down the days Santa will be full of cheer. The turkey will go in the oven while the ham defrosts. This is the season when we forget about the cost. It's a a great time to celebrate with your family and best friends. Whatever we do, we must not drink too much. Drinking and driving is a stupid thing to do. It could cost you your life and somebody else's too. So let us celebrate Christmas in a friendly way. The price of a life is far to much to pay. Each others company we can enjoy. One could be a skipper while others relax or hire a taxi or an uber to get you there and back. The time we spend together and photos we take, will be our memories for years to come. Let us celebrate this Christmas and many more ahead. We can have a good time without vodka, whiskey or rum. Should we drink alcohol, make it low percent. The time we spend together is surely heaven sent. Forget the carafes of wine. We can have a good laugh, with no need to watch for blue lights or blow in the bag. If we all stick to this rule, there will be no dags. Not drinking alcohol or taking drugs may be a better choice. Have a Merry Christmas everyone let us rejoice. Hopefully we see you all next year.
