Santa Brought A Head Cold for Christmas

The Wino tried to pretend she didn't have a head cold on Christmas Day. She popped some cold pills and cleaned the kitchen, took out the trash, made breakfast, and opened a bottle of bubbly (a Paul Zinck Cremant de Alsace if you must know). It was only while opening gifts that she gave into the reality of her illness - a reality that could be measured in the number of times she had to sneeze and the height of the soggy tissue pile that was building up next to her. She spent the next two days glued to the couch. She tried to drink a glass of wine or two but her inability to breath through her nose turned her tastebuds to toast.

The Wino hopes that you were not sick on Christmas. But in case you were, here's to being sick during the holidays!

Cheers!
