If you are a regular reader of this blog you know I have been slow to post this month.  I mentioned in a previous post that I am insanely busy during the month of December.  Yes, yes, I know most people are busy this month but I assure you, it’s worse for me than it is for most.  I am one of the owners of an Ecommerce business and am in charge of the daily operations.  December is INSANE!

But, enough belly-aching, I actually really love this month and love Christmas and my wife made sure it was a Christmas packed full of Beer!  It was a nice reward for a month of hard work.  I got a lot of non-beer related items for Christmas as well but let’s skip all that and talk about the important stuff (oh, and if you are reading this and are one of the people that got me a non-beer item, disregard that last sentence, your gift was my favorite).
