WE CELEBRATE HOLIDAYS WITH OUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES!
The end-of-year merriment calls for imbibing even to people who 'don't drink.' This is a wonderful drink for the purpose of unity of spirit, for being warm and fuzzy, happy and content. I made this up, I did! It helped me 'make it through the night' when my husband was killed. What is different about this drink as opposed to a thousand others? - well, quite a few things are!

It makes you feel good even if you don't drink it! - because it is beautiful.
It is a powerful relaxant with very little actual 'alcohol.'

Three of these are the maximum you will want, the equivalent - in buzz effect - of 'heavy drinking' (which would be five drinks for most of us) but are only a drink and a half's worth of alcohol dose!  No hangover unless champagne itself does that for you.  And ... there are therapeutic effects no other alcoholic drink bestows upon your very own body.  More of that at the end.
HERE ARE THE ITEMS YOU MUST PURCHASE or have on hand FOR THE CELEBRATIONS

candles or dim lanterns
3 champagne flutes per person (you can buy plastic ones at a party store)
A bottle of Cook's or other inexpensive champagne
A package of frozen blueberries, not the overlarge ones, but the small firm ones
A bottle of Valerian root extract (health food store)

HERE IS HOW YOU PUT THE ITEMS TOGETHER FOR A NIGHT OF SPLENDOR AND ECSTASY - of utter relaxation

Put 1/3 glass of frozen blueberries into your champagne flutes.  I like the cut glass flutes.
Pour inexpensive champagne to near the top of the glass.
Carefully FLOAT in the TOP of the glass A Dropper Full of Valerian root extract.  I DIDN'T SAY A DROP:  A DROPPER FULL!
Put the glasses on a table where you-all are going to settle down, and put a dim light source ... the aforesaid candle or lamp ... behind the flutes.  Either soft agreeable music or silence.  This is NOT a rock'n'roll moment.  3 flutes per person is the maximum serving. You will see!

As you sip your very crisp champ...
