December twenty fourth
Most know as Christmas Eve,
The holiday that,
Standing by itself,
Only Santa-loving kids believe
Has any meaning,
They celebrate ”Delivery Day.”
For the rest of America
Pre-Christmas excitement
Can be found
In the national holiday
That is spent
Idolizing a thick white drink-
We celebrate eggnog.
Like a festive cake batter
Served in glass goblets
Some chug, some sip
This curious liquid.
In mystery it sits
Tempting taste buds
With Christmas spice.

Eggnog, yes! Eggnog says Christmas and it tastes so good! Thank you for sharing your poem. Blessings to you…

Yes, it definitely says Christmas better than Cranberry Ginger Ale! Cheers!

I guess Eggnog is bigger over there in America than it is here in the UK…people here just generally drink ANYTHING that contains alcohol!!
One major (but sad) similarity is that the kids over here celebrate ”Delivery Day”. It really irks me, but I guess I was the same as a child too.
Have a good day xx

I guess it’s easy for all of us to get caught up in what doesn’t really matter in the long run. To me the best present is being able to visit with family!
Hope the Christmas spirit is filling your week with joy!
