How’s that shopping list coming? Got the decorations out of the box yet? Anything left at the tree lot? Dude! What are you doing?! Christmas is MONDAY! You have people coming over and they expect boozy drinks and a good time. Get your frankensh*t together! You don’t need the nightmare of last year. Or maybe you want to be pounding on 7/11’s door on Christmas Eve again hoping you can buy some pine scented car air freshener, a few bags of cashews, plus milk, French Vanilla CoffeeMate and a can of two year old cinnamon so you can make “egg nog”. It’s your funeral.

Luckily, we have a huge solution to your holiday cocktails problems because obviously you have plenty. First, you’re going to listen to this very special holiday What We Watch When We Drink episode with André Darlington. He has a brand new book out as only he can write, A Booze & Vinyl Christmas: Merry Music-and-Drink Pairings to Celebrate the Season, which has a plethora of easy cocktails to make for your usually sucky holiday party. And since you know nothing about music, André pairs these wonderful cocktails with classic holiday albums from the likes of Mathis, the Beach Boys, Elvis, the Jackson 5, Cheap Trick, Stefani, Dolly, Crosby, Nat King Cole, Babs, Willie, Frank, Ella and, Dean getting your party in the best of moods, and then you don’t have to play “The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)” on repeat all night. Just get on Spotify and pick stuff in the book, Mr. Deejay. No one needs your freeform ’70’s “play what I want” crap. You ain’t Jim Ladd (RIP).

And since you also suck at gifts, get your butt over to Barnes & Noble or get it on Amazon now and pick up multiple copies of A Booze & Vinyl Christmas, then give them out as gifts. Duh. And one for yourself, Charlie Brown! We’re doing everything for you except the wrapping.

Now listen to the pod, learn something, then get to the store (not 7/11!) for supplies that André so wonderfully lists for you, and you’ll have a great holiday party. Booze + Vinyl. It’s an easy formula that even you can’t screw up, Ebeneezer.

Happy Holidays from the Boozedancing Team!
