The day that I first see it on the grocery shelves is a day of celebration.
I almost skip to the checkout with my purchase in mid October.
I actually called my co-worker this year to tell her that the liquid gold had made its arrival!
Egg nog.
Jaron heard me place this call and was very inquisitive about this heavenly experience called Egg nog.
He tasted it and fell as in love with it as I have.
He asked for a refill. I obliged.
He drank so much egg nog that he couldn't finish his dinner. His tummy was too full.
Talk about responsible parenting. It is a childhood experience that everyone should have - the first egg nog overdose.
He then, in a pondersome manner, asked the very question that I have been asking for years, "Why do they take Egg Nog away from us after Christmas?" (As if it's some conspiracy)
That's when you know you're hooked - when you start to try to figure out a way to get the 'stuff' year round before it's even off the shelves.
Many Christmases and Thanksgivings past, I found myself wondering why the powers that be only graced us with Egg Nog for 2 short months a year, only to snatch it back after it has become a regular part of your day.
Egg nog withdrawal is killer.
It was only a few Holiday seasons ago that I found myself being thankful it was only available for two months out of the year - and equally thankful for the existence of Stretch denim jeans.

I am SOOO not a fan. I don't know how you tolerate it, much less enjoy it. And now you have corrupted the toothless mouth of your son.
My mama made them for me and I have a couple of recipes on my recipe blog. I always HATED drinking a glass of milk; so I was spoiled! She used cinnamon to season them, and also the vanilla. You might want to try your hand at this and become the world's best "egg nogger"!
Do it Angelalala, DO IT!!!
to be completely honest, i once (not so many months ago) got on the gandy's website to see if i i could, in fact, order egg not during a non-holiday month. uh...yeah, they don't do that. :(
