Phrase: Eat, drink and be Merry
Eat, drink and be merry!
How’s that for a piece of timely advice?
As the holiday season rolls around, it’s time to start thinking about how to celebrate this special time of year.
The phrase “eat, drink, and be merry” is often used during Christmas, and for good reason – it perfectly encapsulates the festive spirit of the season.
So, what does it mean to eat, drink, and be merry during Christmas?
For starters, it means indulging in all the delicious treats that accompany the holiday.
From cookies and candy canes to gingerbread houses and fruitcakes, there’s no shortage of sweet and savoury treats to enjoy.
Of course, it’s not just about the food but also the drinks.
From eggnog and hot cocoa to mulled wine and champagne, there are plenty of festive beverages to sip while enjoying the company of loved ones.
That’s the eating and drinking part, but what does it mean to “be merry” during Christmas?
To me, it means taking the time to appreciate all the joys this time of year brings.
It means letting go of my everyday cares, rewatching my favourite Christmas movies, and rereading A Christmas Carol yet again.
So, as you celebrate Christmas and the holiday season this year, remember to eat, drink, and be merry.
Savour every bite of food and every sip of drink, and cherish the moments spent with those you love.
Don’t worry about counting the calories; leave that for next year.
Here’s to a season of eating, drinking, and being merry.
May it be filled with love, laughter, and all of the festive cheer this time of year offers.
Cheers!
