Oh Holly Jolly Cyanide

With the origins of 'oh holly jolly cyanide' I had a slight idea on what to do. . Christmas isn't Christmas without your homely spices, comfy pyjamas,

Down for the Count

A mash up of a Negroni with the Remember the Maine (and the Punt e Mes aspect of a Remember the Maine riff called Remember the Alamo).
