While my ’60s-era siblings couldn’t wait to open presents, my greatest holiday anticipation was my parents’ cocktail parties that filled our home during Christmas week. It was the best people-watching of the year: ladies with beehive hairdos and Cleopatra eye makeup, men in suede jackets and polished boots. Lots of shiny, happy people.
My mother and her friends would try out “exotic” new cocktails such as Grasshoppers and Salty Dogs. I loved being their errand boy, fetching ice, Cokes and grapefruit Squirt soda.
