Beaten to the title of "The spirit of Christmas" I hope nobody is offended if we look at the other sort!
Although they both liked a good wine when friends came round, my mother also used to enjoy Advocaat on high days and holidays and the appearance of a bottle in the cupboard was a sign Christmas was on its way. My dad used to signal the arrival of Winter with a Whisky Mac (whisky +green ginger wine)
For me, Christmas means Baileys, I would never drink it at any other time of year, but also green ginger wine (Crabbie's) when I am writing the cards, and of course mulled wine especially with the mince pies.
What's yours? 
How can we thank the Fire Service?
Just got congratulated for being able to use my debit card!
So Harry and family are coming back!
