December 1st
I checked the world clock and noticed it's already Dec 1 in some places for our members so I'm going to kick this off.
For me December means eggnog. Now I'm allergic to dairy so I have to make my own and this is the type of recipe I prefer, I have been assured it's much better with milk and heavy cream.
Alcohol is optional for those (like myself) who don't "indulge".
Holiday Eggnog
From Good Housekeeping
triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Rich, creamy -- and safe, because it starts with cooked eggs
User Rating:*****
Serves: 32
Total Time: 35 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Ingredients:
12 large eggs
1 1/4 cup(s) sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 quart(s) milk
1 cup(s) dark rum , (optional)
2 tablespoon(s) vanilla extract
1 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg, extra for sprinkling
1 cup(s) heavy or whipping cream
Directions
In heavy 4-quart saucepan with wire whisk, beat eggs, sugar, and salt until blended. Gradually stir in 1 quart milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly or until custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon well, about 25 minutes (mixture should be about 160 degrees F, but do not boil or it will curdle).
Pour custard into large bowl; stir in rum, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and remaining milk. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours.
To serve, in small bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat heavy or whipping cream until soft peaks form. With wire whisk, gently fold whipped cream into custard mixture.
Pour eggnog into chilled 5-quart punch bowl; sprinkle with nutmeg for garnish.

Yikes Dec 1 already!!! Now that is scary - but the egg nog recipe sounds yummy ( love egg nog) - so I'll forgive December for creeping up on me so fast ( I suppose I had better start to wrap & post the overseas Chrissy Prezzies so I can post on Monday. Hmmm busy weekend coming up! Maybe i'll spice it up with an egg nog or 2

I'm glad you guys like it.
:lol: That was my first thought too but then I remembered we serve it for Christmas Dinner and 32 servings didn't sound so bad.

Dec 4
Only 20 or 21 days left (depends on your culture and tradition) so it is time to gather all the elements we need for the holidays.
We need
A Christmas Tree
Snow and candles
Reindeers
Christmas lights (ok this is weird)
Music to set the mood
And a Santa babe (to tie it back to Dev's post earlier)
