Christmas is always a joyous time of year. Not just because of the festivities and (sometimes elusive) Christmas cheer, or the sparkle in the eyes of children.

It’s because eggnog is here!

True, technically it starts making appearances around Thanksgiving, but people are generally more receptive to it at Christmastime. It is then that my heart swells with bliss at the prospect of bringing the One True Nog to those poor souls who have not yet tasted enlightenment. Thus far I have a 100% conversion rate. Such is the truth and beauty of the True Nog, that all who drink it are content, and turn their backs on the old, false nogs.

Amen.
