Holiday Klassic.

Ladies and gentleman, for your viewing pleasure I offer a true Holiday Klassic - Sandra Lee's Holiday Kocktail Party! First, the NUTCRACKERS. Egads. Talk about nuts and crackers ... No doubt, Bjorn will be prominently featured in a nightmare coming to you very soon. Is there something Freudian about having a collection of international NUTCRACKERS, each one of which is named? There's a 6 foot tall King Nutcracker who frankly gives me the creeps. There's Frederique from France, the City of Lights, and Simon, a schoolteacher, from Germany, the city of beer and Nazis, and Bjorn, from Sweden, the city of ... Vikings, fjords and ABBA. I LLLLLOVE YOU BEEEEYORRNNN! And now, I present to you ... Sandra Lee's KOCKTAIL CHRISTMAS TREE. And notice she changed clothes from the first video, when she was sporting that white sweater number, cascading diagonally from one side to the other, to her lumberjack ensemble. This woman is positively giddy at the prospect of showing off her "favorite tree ever," which is absolutely no surprise to me, knowing the woman's penchant for alcohol. "It's phenomenal!" she gushes. And that, my friends, is quite the understatement. Leave it to Sandy to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child with barware and booze. And the nutcracker with a blue kocktail. What can I say? (I guess that Tidy-bowl-tini is a nod to her Jewish friends. Sandy is nothing if not pan-culturally offensive.) A treetop cocktail just screams Christmas to me. So much more appropriate than, say, a star, or an angel. Thank you, Sandra, for a wonderful Christmas present. Merry Christmas, everyone!
