Simple Paizo has declared themselves their own country and started printing the 1$ Kitten.
Congratulations on getting rid of those horrible 1$ bills.
Is there more than one denomination of Kitten than the $1, and if there is do they brand the image of a different Paizo personality's face onto the kittens for each one?

jessica: "The actual date of Cayden’s transformation from mortal to god is irrelevant even to him, but the church celebrates this event on the 11th of Kuthona with a toast of thanks to him for his gifts. Typically this is a hot alcoholic beverage with a sweet bread pastry of some kind."

jessica: Why is this not a holiday we celebrate at Paizo?

sara marie: wait... december 11? thats usually around the holiday party time.
jessica: This is a Wednesday
sara marie: right, but i mean.. close enough that is it really coincidence?
liz: I'm sure Cayden would approve of us celebrating twice.
liz: After all, *he* doesn't remember when he ascended. Better party twice to be sure.

Peppermint Patties. Hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps, to taste. If you make the hot cocoa from scratch, with good-quality cocoa, they're really fantastic after skiing, sledding, etc.

I love hot spiced cider around the holidays. If you are sick, have a hot toddy. But add cloves. They'll fix your sore throat. (Clove tea works for that too, but the honey and the lemon and the booze in a hot toddy enhance it.)

Glühwein and Feuerzangenbowle - and if you feel cold :Grog Rum is a must, sugar is a boon, water is a spoiler

Cider is an apple drink, otherwise it isn't cider.
For instance, if you use the same techniques with pears you make perry.

Just curious Geraint: are you British? It is very common in Canada and the US to refer to unstrained apple juice as apple cider and fermented unstrained apple juice as hard apple cider. Cider can be made with pears (perry cider, not common in the Americas) and even peaches. At least over here.

Ah, interesting: yep, I'm Welsh.
In the UK, apple juice is sold as such (unstrained would be called 'cloudy apple juice').
Fermented apple juice is called 'cider'.
Cloudy/unstrained fermented apple juice is called 'scrumpy'.
Fermented pear juice is called 'perry'.
I have made the mistake of assuming that my cultural experience is the universal norm. Apologies.

No worries! Just kind of cool how different even people of the same language and general cultural background can differ on the little things. :)
