It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air. ~W.T. Ellis

 I Can't wait to celebrate Christmas in a couple days!

All the things that come with Christmas fascinate you guys. The lights, the goodies, the presents, the multiple sightings of Santa all over the place, especially on TV.  Yesterday I picked up some groceries and I bought us a half gallon of "light" egg nog. I am pretty sure you guys will LOVE IT! I may need to widen the drink spout on your sippy cup to let the creamy goodness flow through.  I plan to make Homemade Baileys as well for the adults. I got the recipe from a co-worker of mine.

Here is her email to me:

My mother-n-law makes it every year for Christmas. It’s delicious! Thought I’d spread the cheer!

4 eggs


14 oz. sweetened condensed milk


1-1/2 cup whiskey


1-1/2 whipping cream


1/2 tsp instant coffee


1/2 tsp coconut extract - you can leave this out if you don't have


1 tbsp Hershey's chocolate syrup


1 tsp vanilla


1/8 tsp almond extract


Pour all ingredients in blender and blend for 2 minutes. Pour into glass bottle and keep cold.

I don't think I can mess that recipe up. I plan to drink it on the rocks as well as in my coffee.
I had to go to a liquor store and scope out "Whiskey" as that is something I don't have in our Liquor Cabinet. As I was admiring the different kinds to chose from, I was quickly distracted by the wine aisle as well. Then I saw it.... a bottle of wine that is perfect for a mother of twins.

Look at the beauty! No, I didn't buy it, but now I am kind of having buyers remorse!
