Fun Holiday...

Dec. 24 is Eggnog Day, a day to celebrate, and drink a delicious cocktail
of eggs, milk, cream, sugar and spices.

Originating in England, the drink has now become associated with Thanksgiving in the U.S. and
Christmas time in many parts of the world.

Traditionally, some kind of alcohol is added to eggnog, though non-alcoholic recipes also exist.
In the U.S., bourbon or whiskey is the spirit of choice.
while in the U.K., sherry or brandy is usually added to the beverage.

Did you know... eggnog comes from the Middle English word noggin...referring
to a wooden mug used to serve alcohol.

Do you like eggnog? I do.

Cheers!

Never cared much for eggnog, but my DIL makes a great Christmas hot-toddy.

We did a super-fun thing last night; spent the evening on the riverside in Old Town Sacramento, several blocks where old-timeyness has been maintained since the gold-rush days. We perused some old-timey shops, ate dinner to live music on the Delta King paddle-wheel boat, and watched the parade of light on the streets from the old-timey wooden sidewalks and parade of lights on the river from our old-west-ish style hotel balcony. And for being a naughty boy this year, Mrs Murr-Claus surprised me with exactly the kind of gifts a naughty boy deserves, including eggnog. 😊

Seriously, Michell secretly planned this months ago, made the reservations and everything, and everything was perfect. We had such a great time!

Sounds like you had a fantastic time!
 
I love eggnog but shy away from buying it because I'd drink too much of it. No alcohol in mine please. I occasionally will get egg nog ice cream though. I'm definitely not better at controlling myself when that's in the house but I allow myself to treat myself at least once, since it's a limited addition flavor.
