Ode To Eggnog

The first time I ever tasted eggnog I couldn't stand it. It was similar to what I call the "sushi experience". The first few times you try it you wonder why anyone would want to consume this. Soon after there is a breakthrough. You either realize you hate it, OR you wonder how did I live this long without it. I am definitely the latter and quite frankly I could not imagine the holiday season without it. I enjoy it so much that I wanted to write a tribute to this beloved beverage on the blog and I was even considering changing the name to the Nog Blog. However, I came to and felt like that would be a little weird, so I stole an ode from someone else. Hope you enjoy and have another glass of eggnog, because it's the holidays and we're all going to gain a couple of extra pounds anyway. Next month: Exercise tips!



Ode to Eggnog


Oh how I love thee,
My favorite holiday treat,
All thick and rich
And so syrupy sweet!

With a little rum or brandy,
And a pinch of nutmeg too,
I'll be full of Christmas cheer
To last the whole night through!

Everything seems more festive
With this beverage in my hand;
If you, my friend, have inlaws,
I'm sure you'll understand!

All the things that once annoyed
Have all been drowned out now,
'Cause I've had all the eggnog
That my bladder would allow...

Though I feel a little woozy,
Now that I have had my fill;
I hope that all this eggnog
Doesn't cause me to be ill!
