As for my drink of the day, I am enjoying some extra rich egg nog, to which I've added some freshly ground nutmeg (possibly not as ground as it should have been). Tip: buy a no-frills coffee grinder and dedicate it to grinding your whole spices. They taste so much fresher and are less expensive, too.
Egg nog is my pure indulgence. It's probably a good thing you can only get it between Thanksgiving and the new year, or I would gain even more weight than I normally do over the holidays.
Please join my tea Tuesday friends as we celebrate a host of different drinks today!

Eggnog is indeed a delicious treat!
your poinsettia looks so pretty there, and so festive on tea day, so nice to have thoughtful guests during the holidays... you so deserve it! xx
Hi Elizabeth,
I've never had eggnog. I don't think I can buy it around here.
More important: You've won my give-away. So can you send me your postadress?? I know you have problems with email but maybe you could make a google mail account (gmail.com) it works fine for me:)
Love Susan
Beautiful Christmas decor! I need to blog mine too.....soon ;)
I love egg nog too, in fact, I designed a new whoopee pie around it!
Hugs,

Pretty Poinsettia E in your lovely room!!! Years ago I had one that stayed until Easter which was too long in my view LOL
Enjoy this time of eggnog and treats...time passes so quickly!
I agree with what you said about giving street musicians $ we do that whenever we can too AND I never pass up children selling lemonade either :)
In the bird ornament swap you commented on at my Magpie's Nest, each bird was wrapped and put in a brown bag. Numbers were randomly chosen and that is how you knew when it was your turn to pick a bag :) = Fun and those gals are so creative!
Happy T to ya ...can you believe in two more Tuesdays it will be Christmas Day = WHAT!!!

That is a lovely gift and the red ones are so joyful.
Hi again,
I think I've managed to get my email in the blog. under the content about me. If you go there, there should be an option to email me on the left side of the screen.
Did the dog waggle (like a really drunk person would) or is there no alcohol in eggnug? I might make it the second day of Christmas when my parents in law (it that how you write it?) come to visit us. Love Susan
Your poinsettia is beautiful .... You must be doing something right!!
We drink lots of eggnog this time of year too. I have yet to find a good homemade recipe though - I think I would save some money if I made it myself!
Doesnt that red beauty set off the beauty of your patinad tableso beautifully. I can't comment on the egg nog, just thinking of it makes me unsteady...it's a texture thing, can't swallow it!!! I like the new location for the tree, a welcome in the window.
beautiful poinsettia! hope your week is warm and cozy...
I was wondering if that was eggnog! I LOVE eggnog!!! So does Little J. It's our special treat at Christmas.
beautiful poinsettia! always makes me think of my dear mother...she always has one in the house for the holidays...xo
What a beautiful poinsettia!! Lovely gift.
Eggnog! Is it time for eggnog? You betcha! Enjoy!! :)
Pointsettia is gorgeous. Nothing says Christmas like this flower. Thoughtful guest. The house is looking quite festive and lovely. Enjoy your Nog! xox
Hoi,

Love Susan

Hi Elizabeth,
Love eggnog! Your glass is beautiful too (and the coaster). I love the display you have on your wall -- different baskets? At first I thought one of them was a snowshoe!
The pointsettia is beautiful!
Hugs,
Kay
