Not really into whiskey.  Got a great single malt, and some awesome tequila around though.  Bad women yes.

Whiskey makes me violent towards others, and tequila makes me violent towards myself. Needless to say, I drink a lot of whiskey.

Even received a couple bottles for Christmas.

Another reasonable excuse is that I have to be in the office at 8:15   

Besides, that bad woman thing would be quite unreasonable for me 

Ok, as I make this post, it's 9:51 AM Christmas day Beirut time.

Today, I woke up at 6:15 AM (mainly because I slept too early yesterday as I was exhausted). Went to church at 8:15. After church I went to a sweet shop to buy some christmas sweets, came home by 9:30, had my Nescafé, sat down with my mother and aunt who arrived yesterday, and now as I wait for the crowd to arrive (i.e. my brother's family, my other brother's fiancée...and whoever decides to come suddenly), I am posting on IAP to wish my overseas friends a Merry Christmas.

See? There's a lot you can do when you wake up early  if you're a good woman

Besides experienced drunks know how to avoid the hangover part

How do they do that? More drinking? 

Cedar, your a morning person aren't you? That rare breed of human placed on this planet to piss the rest of us off in the wee hours of the dawn with a perky disposition and too damned much energy for that early.

Actually I am  lol   Not really dawn, but I never sleep past 7:30 AM on weekends, and always wake up at 6:30 on weekdays to go to work. And I always wake up full of energy because I sleep like a baby.

I'm like a ray of sunshine the morning

Well I'm sure something good will come along soon. Is the crisis still too hard in the States?

To forget everything about the old year and usher in a blank slate.

Lots and lots of drinking.

Why would you want to welcome the new year drunk and spend the first day of the year with a hangover and a splitting headache?  

I like to be fresh and full of energy and look at the new year in the eye and say: You're going to be mine
