Put the coffee on. It’s that time of the year when company’s coming and Festivus is truly for the rest of us. 

Really. Sometimes you just have to go back home again for a special blend of rich beans slow-roasted with good company. Wander into Booskerdoo in Fair Haven during the holidays and you’ll be served up a heaping helping of the comfort combination. 

The Booskerdoo “unofficial” blend will have you steeping in the spirit of the season with just a whiff of the bagged beans (ground to order) and hug from ever-popular barista and favorite Fair Havenite Trudy. It’s a known fact that Trudy comes with whatever shop anchors on that River Road and DeNormandie site. This package of cheer is just what the holiday blues ordered. A little Festivus, Trudy and company will perk you right up.  Steep in that holiday sentiment.

Drinking, or just smelling, the Festivus blend is a religious experience — unlike the intent of the holiday to just “celebrate for the sake of celebrating …,” as showcased on the Seinfeld sitcom.

What specific beans are in this delectable doozy? We can’t remember. But, that would be all the more reason to pay a visit to Booskerdoo for the full-on holiday treatment. Fear not. Your nose will take you right to the Festivus, which is described as “a sweet, creamy medium roast.”

And, don’t toss the bag. It’s almost as flavorful as the coffee. See?

The Festivus 2018 blend is available for the rest of us at Booskerdoo through the end of the year.
