I´m dreaming of a...cool Christmas

...with no snoozing alarm, no obligations more than be social in a nice way, great food, great movies, great books, great conversations and of course, great Cola de Mono.

Cola de Mono is a liquor we drink in Chile for Christmas and also when we celebrate our Independence Day/Week, which is September 18th. It consists of aguardiente, which is, a spirit made of distillated grapes, milk, coffee and spices as vanilla, cinnamon and clove. It might sound horrendous but it´s totally delicious! And not at all like Baileys´ - where Baileys´ is sweet and somewhat too thick, Cola de Mono is light and refreshing. Yum!

From drinks to another kind of entertainment - Marit Bergmans Julshow was great! She´s just sooo cool, and that also goes for the artists performing with her. I also suspect that one of her musicians must´ve been an old school mate. Cool!

What´s not cool is the fact that it snowed yesterday evening but now it´s all gone. Anyhow, have really nice lunch to look forward to today and now it´s just one and a half day until I can relax and just kick back with a glass of chilled Cola de Mono. Divalicious!

I just hope I don´t catch a cold. Have been feeling somewhat coldish. Bah.

Update about Cola de Mono:
My very observant lil'brother made me realize I´d made a somewhat confusing Cola de Mono description. Here´s a less confusing one, I hope.
The base of the liquor is the aguardiente, then you add coffe, milk and the spices that´ve been preparated apart.
