This is a stupid, meandering post that doesn’t mean anything. Read at your own peril. <\/p>\n
My local liquor store often has free samples of products, and this past weekend I tried an egg nog. It was very good, so I got a bottle. (I love egg nog.) <\/p>\n
When I got home I wondered about taking it to various events. (As much as I love egg nog, I’m not going to drink a bottle of it on my own. I exercise, but not that much!) <\/p>\n
Egg nog is closely associated with Christmas. It’s not something you drink on the 4th of July, or at Easter. Or even on a cold and snowy Thanksgiving. So that got me thinking about when it’s appropriate to bring a bottle of egg nog to an event, and the answer seems to be “during the Christmas season.” <\/p>\n
But when is that? According to Home Depot, I think it starts right after Halloween. And there’s a local radio station that plays 24\/7 Christmas music starting on the day after Thanksgiving. Still, I don’t think I’d bring a bottle of egg nog to a party on Nov. 28th. <\/p>\n
Most Crowhill readers will know that the church defines the Christmas season as the time from Christmas to Epiphany. The “12 days of Christmas” are Dec. 25 to Jan. 5. But by Dec. 26, the radio is back to secular music and most everyone is done with Christmas. <\/p>\n
In the secular world, Christmas is all about parties, gifts, and decorations. Once they’re over, you’re done. But egg nog is appropriate on New Years, and even into January. <\/p>\n
So I think there’s an egg nog season. It starts with the first Christmas party, and it probably ends well before Valentine’s Day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
