<p>I was reading an article in <a href="http://www.mentalfloss.com/" target="_blank">Mental Floss</a> magazine that explained how the best eggnog was often aged for six months or more. This sounds a little off to me, but the article explains that as long as it is more 'nog' than 'egg' there is little chance for spoilage. For my Sister and my daughter, the holidays just aren't here until the cork is popped on that first carton of the creamy (expiration date being no more than two weeks from the time of purchase), tasty, once-a-year treat. My mother mixes a 'spice tea' concoction made from Tang and a variety of spices which tells her taste buds that Santa is on his way and I remember (long ago and far away) enjoying an indulgent 'Tom and Jerry' every year when the weather got brisk.</p>

<p>Which drink lets you know that Christmas (or Hanukkah...or Kwanzaa...or the winter solstice) is just around the corner?</p>
