CAYA; Santa Is a Ho

Each Yuletide season we are reminded that . . . 

The truth shines bright as driven snow!

He spreads good cheer wher'ever he goes

All decked in red and trimmed in white

He's dressed for Love on Christmas night

With Rudolph's nose to guide his sleigh

A bright Red Light to lead the way

He won't take cash to pay the bill

With milk and cookies he gets his fill

No need to tell the girls and boys

About the Tart who brings their toys

But don't pretend YOU didn't know

That Old Saint Nick is just a Ho

Dear Lost Souls,

Here's wishing you ALL a Happy Holiday season full of good cheer! ... Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Festivus . . . or on whatever ritualistic solstice wave you find yourself riding, Jiminy Crickets, we wish you a happy one of those as well! This evening we invite you to join our band of Haberdashery merrymakers as we gather to share some holiday cheer, exchange nondenominational season's greetings, and warm our cockles* with some hand crafted adult beverages. It's going to be a magical fucking Festivus miracle!

Yes, my Radicalized Reindeer, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening. As always, our mischievous alchemist elves will be standing by to mix up some seasonal specialties as your whims dictate**. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. We know that it is a busy time of year, but please do feel free to drop by for a holiday quickie en route to your primary seasonal soiree ... or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

CAYA; A Christmas Miracle!

Dear Lost Souls,

It’s a Haberdashery miracle! … with Christmas falling on a Friday night! . . . Now, even though Santa may be a Ho, that is a pretty damn good reason to celebrate!

In the spirit of the season, we will also be gathering for a modest Christmas feast earlier in the evening, and we are pleased to open our doors to any of you Haberdite orphans out there. If you would like to join us for dinner around 5.30pm, please do let us know so that we can plan accordingly.

Yes, my Raucous Reindeer, Cocktail Hour is on for this festive Friday evening. As always, cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to swing your sleigh on by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening yuletide soiree ... or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,



Los Cabañeros

CAYA; Cocquetiers and Alaska Martini Season !

Dear Lost Souls,

We have no doubt that Santa's list, well researched and twice checked as it is, will be compiled from peer reviewed data that definitively establishes whether you have been naughty OR nice. And while the interpretation of said data might ultimately have grave impacts on the character of your stocking contents on Christmas morning . . . we at the Haberdashery want to assure you that it will not in the least impact the contents of your Friday evening cocquetier.  We are not ones to judge! 

Oh yes, my Haughty Haberdites, Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening . . . and in a tradition that is as old as the Haberdashery itself, this week we toast the culmination of another jolly season with Alaska Martinis . . . a cocktail that is as colorful as Christmas itself, and as refreshing as a ride in a one horse open sleigh . . . a perfectly balanced alchemical masterpiece as sure as Rudolph's nose to lead your sweetheart beneath the mistletoe  . . . the rest is up to you!

As always, cocktails will served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Yuletide chestnut roast . . . or to linger indefinitely!

Yours!
Los Cabañeros

CAYA; Santa is Still a Ho!

COME ON!
 
The truth shines bright as driven snow
He spreads good cheer wher'ever he goes
All decked in red and trimmed in white
He's dressed for Love on Christmas night
 
With Rudolph's nose to guide his sleigh
A bright Red Light to lead the way
He won't take cash to pay the bill
With milk and cookies he gets his fill
 
No need to tell the girls and boys
About the Tart who brings their toys
But don't pretend YOU didn't know
That Old Saint Nick is just a Ho!

Yes, my Rambunctious Reindeer! . . . Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday evening . . . but what sparkling experiential iceberg rises on that temporal horizon!??? . . . it's Alaska Martinis!! . . . back in season, and just in time to provide perfect punctuation to the end of another week in the Old St. Nick Sweatshop. Ho, what better way to toast in the holidaze delirium than with a frosty multicolored alchemical masterpiece prepared by our crack team of effervescent elves. Be sure to tip your hard working elf appropriately . . . although inappropriately is also much appreciated.

Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. As always, please feel free to swing your sleigh by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening seasonal soiree . . . or to linger indefinitely . . . indubitably . . . and festively in the hazy lazy glow of another Haberdashery Holiday Party.

Yours,
Los Cabañero

Yes, my Irreverent Revelers, Cocktail Hour is on for this week, and you are invited once again to come bask in the warm glow of low expectations. Depending on the International Travel Gods, this could be the last Cocktail Hour of 2003. But don't forget: You get a clean slate on January 1st! . . . so you only have a couple of weeks to heap on the misbehavin'!! . . . and, as always, the Haberdashery is there to support your efforts. We'll have hot drinks, cold drinks and Holiday munchies to put you in the spirit . . . and Alaskan Martinis; just for Dolge. Our helpful elves will do their best to see to all your temporal needs. Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. We know it is a busy season for our clan, but please remember to hoist a glass in our direction wherever you may be . . . and we will do the same. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your chosen Yule Tide venue . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours,

Greg
