Let the Spirit Move You

With everything else hanging over our heads lately, it's a bit tougher to get into the holiday state of mind this year.

But instead of complaining about the economy/weather/ Christmas decor in stores before Thanksgiving, we've teamed up with a spirited partner to take some action--and we're urging you to do the same.

Tasting Table and the Patrón Social Club have teamed up on the Holiday Spirits Awards, a nationwide search for epicureans who are finding tasty ways to get into a merrier mood.

To participate, join the Club by clicking here (it's free), then upload a photo or point to a video that shows us what kind of culinary action you take to get into the 2009 holiday spirit.

Maybe you'll demo a fail-safe eggnog recipe, or share the secret to achieving latke perfection, or snap a photo of your neighborhood's largest edible snowman. Whatever it is, we want to see it--and so do thousands of others (no pressure).

Plus, your entry makes you eligible to win one of a dozen prizes for outfitting your bar--from bar kits to our favorite cocktail glasses.

And to keep you inspired throughout the sweepstakes, the P.S.C. is sponsoring a month of Tasting Table holiday content from around the web--which you'll find on the P.S.C. web site well into the new year.

Sign up now, and warm up that webcam.
