An early Christmas gift.

On Monday I met with my two artist friends for lunch, our host gave the two of us a wonderful lunch and each of us received a gift from a local distillery.  

Nearly every year we go into Portland to a Christmas show by Michael Allen Harrison and guests, it is in an old church and has always been a wonderful show and has grown to be a tradition in our family.  This year it is cancelled, however a local television station has donated an hour of air time for his Christmas show!  So tonight we will sip on the local pear brandy from my friend, and watch the show in our own home with a fire going and the tree lights on.
