Stop into any of our pubs this weekend (before Thanksgiving?!) and share an over-the-top, rosemary-and-cranberry-garnished, cinnamon-sugar-rimmed, pour of what has been described by leading authorities as "an Andy Williams Christmas Album in a glass" — Yuletide Spiced Holiday Ale with good friends — or even strangers. If it`s just you and the bartender at 1:00 in the afternoon, pop in, strike up a conversation and spread a little holiday cheer.
Even if you don`t stop into a Royal Docks pub, stop in somewhere this weekend. Have a Twelve Dogs, a Pimp My Sleigh or a Christmas Ale — or an Old Fashioned, a Bud Light or a glass of Coke. Enjoy your old friends or make new ones. Or both. If you do it this weekend and next and the week after that, it might catch on and you`ll get addicted to the feeling. You might find yourself needing to have it; the warmth of genuine connection and fellowship without agenda. Maybe it starts a whole thing where people are nice to each other all year long. Who knows?
Anyway, we can dare to dream but in the meantime we`ll leave the tree on in hopes that you`re coming by.
