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...
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

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

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

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

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

Shove that up a roasting turkey's butt and it's totally Christmas. Hint of pine, maybe.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love clove oranges. We used to make them as kids. I should try it with mine this year.

Mmm, yes, clove oranges. That's what we always used to mull cider. And probably some other stuff, but stuffing cloves into the orange was the job of any kids that were handy.

I always wanted to shove cloves into a tangerine because I bet it would hurt less. I should try that...
