There are rules regarding the drinking of holiday eggnog, and this year it was time to indoctrinate our daughter. Too many sips too late, we realized that Abby doesn't just like eggnog, she loves it. She was a little disappointed to find that her sippy cup doesn't dispense the stuff.--------------------
Rule 1: No eggnog, eggnog-flavored beverage, or eggnog ice cream shall be consumed before the last bite of Thanksgiving dinner has been eaten.
Rule 2: No eggnog shall be consumed after midnight on December 31.
Rule 3: Eggnog shall not be served without a healthy sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg on top.
Rule 4: The aforementioned nutmeg shall originate in the form of an actual nut, and shall be grated fresh directly into the glass using a tiny nutmeg grater.
Rule 5: Eggnog shall be consumed in moderation so as to account for no more than 25% of your overall holiday weight gain.
Rule 6: Eggnog shall be served in a festive glass. When served cold, eggnog should be poured into a wine glass. When served hot, eggnog should be poured into a holiday mug. If neither option is available, wearing reindeer antlers or a Santa hat while you imbibe will suffice.
Thanks for the rules and etiquette for drinking eggnog! Emma has been wanting to try it and I wasn't going to let her b/c I didn't think she would like it. Maybe we will now since Abbey has taking such a liking!
