For instance, in Ireland, December 26 is celebrated as St. Stephen’s Day, commemorating Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Most people chill out with close friends and family.

Welcome to whiskey season, everyone. It’s a grand time of year, where food is plentiful, friends are friendlier, clothes more cozy, and whiskey flows like a mountain stream after a heavy spring rain.
