Makes a lot of punch because you fill up all the liquor bottles that went
into it. Plus you need extra because of the other liquids used.
If Shyrley has a get-together in January, I'll bring a bottle (hopefully
they'll be one left).

Not a liqueur, a winter punch.

Thistles make seeds that poof away eventually, like (but not as easily) as
dandelions and milkweed. Seeds that float easily on the wind.
I think that's it. I could be wrong.

The seeds - they are attached to "down" much like a dandelion
puff - so that they blow around and propagate the species.

Yeah, you're closer than me...On a google search I found thistle bird
feeders, so it must be part of the thistle seed. My first guess was
that thistles were some type of bird and the 'down' was a feather. Katy
said she didn't imagine reindeer floating around like that, directed by
the wind. She figures their flight must be more purposeful and directed
than that.
It seems the thistle down from the seed would float the same way...so
she may still have a problem with it :-)
Thanks!

Thistle is kind of like a dandelion. Did you ever pick them when they were
all fuzzy and blow on them? Remember how those little fuzzies would fly
away?
