Sara Ranch,
I don't want to sound mean but I so can't wait for tomorrow to be over with already. The worst part is it's not even a Thanksgiving meal that's going to be happening at my house. It's a Thanksgiving breakfast! Right now I'm not even sure which is worse- hosting a Thanksgiving breakfast or a Thanksgiving dinner!!!
I got the major parts done for the morning tomorrow- cleaning and getting the coffee station set up (which took me hours to do seeing how I didn't like where or how I had it set up orginially. I currently like where and how I've got it.) I just hope that come tomorrow it won't get disrupted by others walking past hitting it by accident or too many trying to get coffee all at once. I should probably get the plastic forks wrapped in napkins but right now I'm enjoying my coffee.

@Sara Ranch since you asked..... My Great Grandmother, born in 1877, died in 1980, made this eggnog for breakfast on Christmas Day. Everyone, including the children, had eggnog. My Mother remembered having eggnog at Mama Wall's on Christmas. Then my Grandmother made it for the family gatherings. She couldn't tell us the recipe, so we watched her make it and wrote it down. Now I make it and this has been a family tradition for over 100 years. May you and all here add this to their family Christmas and make it their family tradition.

Mama Wall's Eggnog

12 eggs
12 heaping tablespoons sugar
12 shots of whiskey ( I use 6-full strength blows my head off LOL )
1 pint whipping cream
a little milk

Separate the eggs, beat the whites until stiff
Beat the cream until stiff
Beat the egg yolks, add sugar and beat well
SLOWLY add the whiskey, while beating the egg yolks. The whiskey cooks the eggs.
Fold the cream into the egg yolks
Fold in the egg whites
Add a little milk

Spoon into cups, sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! Hey Al, if you want it quietly then don't come to my house for the Thanksgiving breakfast- eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, orange juice and last but not least COFFEE!
