Christmas Eve and National Eggnog Day

Tonight is the big night! The man in the red suit is making his deliveries tonight so get those cookies ready and have a toasty warm mug of eggnog to help you get to sleep.

Christmas Eve

Up on the rooftop Christmas Eve is a wonderful time for my family. My wife sets the nativity scene figures throughout the house at the beginning of Advent. Mary and Joseph travel towards the manger. The Magi follow the star. On Christmas Eve, Mary and Joseph have reached the manger and the shepherds are nearby.

We go to the church service in the evening and come home to watch a holiday movie like It’s a Wonderful Life. Everyone goes to bed so Santa can come and do his thing. We enjoy the religious and secular aspects of the holiday together as a family. We hope you do, too.

National Eggnog Day

Eggnog is a splendid, creamy holiday beverage. I love eggnog served warm with a dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Some people like their eggnog spiked with bourbon, brandy or rum. I don’t care for booze, so I just take my eggnog with a dash of spice and maybe some whipped cream.
