Aww, you are such a fun and goofy lush. haha.
In Canada, Christmas also means it's time to break out the liquor. Everyone drinks a lot of spirits (especially rum and vodka), and of course there's a lot of beer. And Canadians always drink white wine with turkey dinner, and lots of red wine afterwards.

Oh, and we also use the occasion of the holidays to splurge on things which we don't normally have, like liqueurs. Some people like Kahlua but my personal favorite is Bailey's.
I think everyone drinks during the holidays because we're all getting so stressed out and many of us are depressed. LOL... isn't that a terribly un-optimistic way of looking at this fun old time of year.
Merry Christmas everyone.
