Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Egg nog ice cream with some sort of roasted chestnut sauce... so maybe caramel?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Is caramel christmassy? I want another Christmas flavor. Not necessarily sweet.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Caramel seems festive. I mean, the dish could skew savory but it's easy to take it to sweet.

If I go sweet, peppermint seems most iconic flavor. Although that might overwhelm everything else.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I wouldn't mix peppermint and egg nog.

Let's see... iconic Christmassy flavors... riffing here...

Hard sauce, egg nog, nutmeg, peppermint, gingerbread, cardamom (my family makes this: [link] ), cloves, cinnamon, mulled cider, mulled wine, dried fruits in fruit cake and mincemeat...

Lots of those can be a savory addition to roasted beasties.

Thanks, those are some good options!

I think the most Christmassy smell of all is a couple dozen cloves shoved into an orange.
