christmas in the snow
Dear Friends, 
This is one of our favorite times of the year at the DB ...  Lots of happy folks crowded around the bar wearing Uggs and thinking Ugg -- please no more Christmas shopping. It can be stressful out there -- black ice trying to make us home bound when we have 652 more gifts to buy, major decisions like whether to get the iPad wireless version or sell your firstborn in order to get the upgraded 3G and searching endlessly for the last four Fisher-Price Sing-A-Ma-Jigs that precious angel little Lucy saw on TV and absolutely positively 100% has GOT TO HAVE THEM, MOMMA!  (Ahhhh!)  Which is why we want to invite you to the DB for the holidays to relax, have a delicious dinner and enjoy.

Christmas get-togethers, meeting up with old friends ...
Lots of old buddies coming back home for the holidays -- why not make plans to get everyone together for a little fun at the Diamondback?  Have a juicy steak and a good glass of scotch and share some good memories of sledding on that huge hill on the golf course (which naturally you weren't supposed to be sledding on and ended up getting 13 stitches ... oh yes, the good old days.) Please note that the DB will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so we can sit around drinking eggnog with our Uncle Bob.  You can bring your own Uncle Bob to our OYSTER ROAST AND CAROLINA V. TENNESSEE BOWL GAME (Thursday, Dec. 30)  and we'll entertain him for you.

Make reservations now for the best New Year's Party in Town
Our chefs have been working on an incredible menu for New Year's. This is the way for all foodies to start the new year off right. This is truly a gourmet feast, and we want the entire DB family with us -- without a cummerbund -- ready to ring in the new year with joy, not an itchy bow tie.

We wish you happiness and good health in the new year.  We're hoping for 365 days of great friends, great food and memories in the making.  We thank you for supporting the Diamondback, and we feel mighty fortunate to do what we do. Thanks, everyone.

Forward to a Friend
