Snuggled in a snug

Last Thursday MB and I headed to Clarke's pub, rumoured to serve the best pint of Guinness in County Louth.  While I can't claim to be a Guinness expert, I think they pour a mighty fine pint.  We got drinks and headed to one of the pub's many snugs.  We'd seen snugs in Canada, but didn't realize what they were until coming to Ireland.  Snugs were designed to offer privacy within a pub and were used by wealthy patrons (drinks were more expensive in the snug) or people who did not want to be seen (i.e. priests, police officers, women). Today snugs simply provide a cozy atmosphere for enjoying your beverage.  

In our case the snug provided a perfect setting to write our Christmas cards.  MB is a perpetual planner and is always thinking 10 steps ahead.  In true MB fashion she wanted to send our cards extra early so they'd have lots of time to cross the Atlantic.  In true Scott fashion, I'll do anything at anytime if there is a pint involved.   With liquid inspiration in one hand and pen in the other, we got down to business.

Who knew writing Christmas cards needed this much motivation? 

Christmas Jumper or Cracking Good Christmas, which is your favourite?
