December 24, 2013: Yeah, yeah, Christmas Eve isn’t exactly an obscure holiday. But believe it or not, besides National Egg Nog Day, it’s about all that’s going on today. I guess nobody wants their obscure food or pet cause to share the spotlight with visions of sugarplums.

Now, as far as egg nog goes, it’s definitely on the list of things I’ve never tried. Because it seems really, really disgusting. Every year Scott gets a little bit, or just goes to McDonald’s for an egg nog shake. I will never, ever join him in that. It’s also intriguing to me that I’ve always thought of eggnog as one word, but according to Dr. Google, it’s more appropriate to use the two word version. Live and learn!
