I do not know what eggnog taste like. I have never tried it, so I am not sure how to comment.
Our plans: we have already been to a performance of Handel's "Messiah" at the Kennedy Center, and Thursday night we go again to a "Candlelight Christmas" performance by the Washington Chorus. That will be beautiful: Christmas carols, audience sing-along, and then a candlelight performance to close the evening.
On Christmas Eve, we will go out to dinner at a nice restaurant, then the late evening service at the Episcopal church in Old Town Alexandria - the same church where George Washington worshipped. Then we like to drive around Old Town after midnight, just looking at all the decorations when it's still and peaceful. People really go all out in decorating in the 18th century styles - lots of greenery and fruit, like apples and pineapples, in the decorations.
Then home, sleep in on Christmas Day, have a pancake breakfast, open our presents (hoping hubby likes the Nook Tablet he's getting!), probably go for a walk with the dogs, then a nice dinner in mid-afternoon. We'll roast a turkey breast and do a traditional dinner, but small, for just the two of us.
It will be nice and quiet. The first time we've had Christmas at home and haven't traveled anywhere in several years, so I'm looking forward to it.

Just stay home by myself.
Eggnog is delicious! In my opinion, home-made eggnog is much, much better than the stuff you buy in the dairy section at the grocery store, which always seems too thick and goopy to me, and has a peculiar, overly-processed taste.
We don't drink, so our egg-nog does not have rum in it. Just eggs, milk, cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg. SO good!!
Betty Crocker has a recipe for it that uses vanilla pudding mix, so it comes out very creamy.
Im'a gunna watch a lot of football is what Im gunna do. A man gotta do what a man gotta do and that is to watch football
Oh no! that is no fun
It's what I wish I could do at times.
yea, but by yourself. That seems lonely. I think it's best spent with people you love and care about, and they do the same for you. I don't like when people are alone on the holidays, it kind of makes my heart break a little.
Seeing as my family never ever lets me be alone at all, I would really welcome it. For some reason, they think I can't handle being alone since I lost all my hearing.
