We’re easing slowly into the season this year. I think I’m in denial that Christmas is only 21 days away. That’s only three weeks. And we haven’t started shopping yet, either. Living on the edge! (Yep, the inner panic is starting to kick in.)
But we finally bought our tree and put it up, so that counts for something. I’ll put ornaments on it later this week (see above about easing in slowly).
And last night we celebrated the first Sunday of Advent with homemade eggnog. I got the recipe out of my ancient Better Homes and Garden cookbook and surprisingly, it called for raw eggs and no heat. We survived, but I think I’ll look for a better recipe.
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness, a light has dawned.
Happy Monday!
I’ll probably throw this into the eggnog pot in the morning.

We’ve survived so far…..don’t know the lag time is on salmonella!

Me neither. I feel a sense of foreboding…

Your eggnog sounded good. My grandma used to make it every Christmas. Wish I had her recipe, but I don’t. I’ll have to ask my niece if she has it. She took a lot of the recipes.

Just hum the triumphant theme music from the movie “Rocky” and watch the part where he makes his version of what could be called, “Workout Eggnog.”

😄 Funny, we both thought about Rocky and his raw egg drink. It was comforting. He didn’t die of salmonella poisoning! Gonna fly now… 🎶
