“Christmas in the South means a creamy bowl of rum and bourbon-based eggnog and a rich array of cakes and candies: coconut cake, white fruitcake, bourbon ball candies, and sugary divinity candies topped with pecans.”

I’d love to have been at one of Eugene’s holiday gatherings in Mobile. He sounds like a proper Southern gentleman and a good time waiting to happen!
Happy Holidays to All!
If I were filling a dinner table with any guests in the world, he’d be on my list too!
