Christmas Cheer

I just have to include this one with the other ideas for gift-giving that I have written about lately, because this one just froths over with good cheer.
The employees at the Steam Whistle Brewery here in Toronto, "good beer folks" that they are, have announced their intent to send one week's worth of staff beer rations to the Canadian soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. The company followed up with its declaration that it will match that gift. Afghanistan being a Muslim country, alcoholic beverages are not in ready supply, but the troops are allowed the pleasure of imbibing three times a year and one of those times is Christmas.
The gift of a little cool cheer will soon be making its way over to our troops, carrying with it heartfelt wishes for their well-being and safe return home.
