Winter as a collective whole has pretty much been devoted to food. We figure if the weather is going to be cold and the sun goes down earlier, we might as well claim it's dessert time and keep the house warm through ovens.

The holidays in the US are luckily closely themed in colors, I'm guessing to let it slide if the decorations for Christmas were buried under a pile of snow for Valentine's Day and are just starting to peek out for St. Patrick's Day. Sidebar: isn't great how we can also stay warm through all three with some bar tending skills? This also means that you are presented with the opportunity to save some money when stocking up on discounted merchandise from last season.

| Hey girl hey! |
It also means some poor soul will have to eat the color that is not currently in season. Free pour for them.
