I'm sitting here sipping my Christmas Ale and I'm just so pumped. Here is the recipe for 10 gallons. I bottled 5g and passed out a bunch of bottles plus kegged 5g and will fill growlers for my friends. This stuff is so tasty.

16 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 75.0 %

1.50 oz Cascade [7.50 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 7 8.1 IBUs
2.00 oz Ginger Root (Boil 10.0 mins) Herb 8 -

2.0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) [50.28 ml] Yeast 11 -

I did have some trouble with a stuck mash on this one, it was so bad I had to dump out my mash tun and clear my manifold then resume the mash. I run a RIMS system so this was only about ten minutes into the mash! Crazy brew day!
