That's a good story Shoe. Now in my family we did not have to sneak. We were all allowed to have a drink on Christmas Eve each year. That is until my mom got religion and put a quick stop to that. I can remember sitin on my Dads lap and sipping on a beer very early in life. That is probably why it took me so long to learn to walk. Now of course I did have some sneaking experience. After all Christmas was only once a year and Mom did put a stop to the drinking. My Grandma used to have big family gatherings at her house. They would have big coolers on the porch just flowing with beer. Now me and my cousins knew if we stayed up late enough we could go out on the porch and get us a nice icy cold one or two or three after the adults passed out - I mean went to sleep. It's amazing I am not an alcoholic. Of course I guess that comes from the religion it kind of rubbed off on me too.
