That's exactly what I'm doing with my re-acquired comics or toys. That's what tradition is - repeating a moment in memory of it.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-83298252177531111842018-12-25T15:39:16.004+00:002018-12-25T15:39:16.004+00:00Well, Kid, I'm not trying to replace the origi...Well, Kid, I'm not trying to replace the original beer and Babycham or claiming that a newly-bought pack of Babycham magically becomes the first Babycham I ever tasted - I'm merely keeping up a long festive tradition :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-23263493561802248832018-12-25T14:19:46.340+00:002018-12-25T14:19:46.340+00:00Perpetuation can be a wonderful thing, CJ.

The beer was often mixed with lemonade to make shandy. Every Christmas I buy a pack of Babycham and I make home-made shandy purely to keep up that childhood tradition from so long ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
