At Christmas-time, I have NEVER.........
- eaten fruitcake. Fruitcake is always a huge Christmas joke, and yet, I don't think I have ever even had the opportunity to eat fruitcake. It's never at our house, and I don't recall being at a party or anything where it is served.
- drank eggnog. I have heard this is good, but I can't fathom drinking something called egg-nog. Eggs are meant to be scrambled, not in beverage-form, and nog...what's nog? The word sounds like "snot." No thanks. I'll stick with my apple cider!
- had Christmas carolers come to my house. However, I have been caroling. It was in high school with my school choir. The people we caroled to looked so uncomfortable. They didn't know where to look, whether they should smile or sing along, or if they should applaud by themselves to all 50 of us standing in their lawn. (Mom and Dad, I'm pretty sure I have misspelled "carol" -ers, -ing, -ed. Sorry!)
- been anywhere other than my parents house on Christmas morning.
- been finished shopping when I swore I would be. My goals are unattainable, though!
- gotten a good ornament at my company's Christmas party ornament exchange. (for all of you that watch "The Office", think oven mit!! Yeah, the exchange is that bad!) Today is our party. I'll let you know later what I get....sigh!
- put tinsel on a Christmas tree
- decorated the grill of my car or luggage rack with a wreath, bow, or garland. Probably never will!

i tried eggnog for the first time the other night...hated it. it really does taste like snot, that is definitely the best word for it...and it's thick..basically like scrambled eggs. also, will you please stick to your guns about never putting a wreath on the front of your car??? it always looks to me like someone accidently ran into someone else's front door in their car and then took off, leaving the evidence on their grill.
soooooo, you've TRIED snot????
don't embarrass me like that.
I love eggnog! Crazy, because I hate eggs eaten by themselves. I sprinkle a little nutmeg on top and savor the two or three sips that my waistline can handle!
