    I'm still only waiting on eggnog for Christmas time. Going to take a full day to drink nothing but eggnog. That's as far as my celebrating goes lol.

    If you've never just dumped a carton of eggnog into an ice cream maker .. you should.

    The holiday is suppose to be dedicated to giving thanks and being appreciative of your blessings NOT eating yourself into a coma. We need to change the way we THINK then we can change our bad habits.

    The AMA really needs to come up with something better to do; like policing the snake oil salesmen - oops, drugs companies - so that they aren't pushing pills as a solution for every silly problem they think they can make a buck over.

    Then again, what's the chance of that happening?

    Yea....let's ban a national holiday that resonates back to the Original 13 Colonies. Great idea! Just like Christmas and every other holiday/event that involves food (birthdays, football games, Halloween, New Years', office parties, etc.). Let's go ahead and ban those too while we're at it!
    Yes! We have at least two of us who believe this. Let's start a movement!

    Wait wait .. If you recall your thanksgiving traditions, 2 people is not a movement (just a ploy to avoid getting drafted) .. 3 people may be considered an organization ... it's very clear that 50 people a day is what it would take to constitute a movement.
    Well ... we have to start somewhere.

    If you live anywhere near Ithaca, NY, or are ever in that area (Finger Lakes region) around the holidays, you MUST try Purity Eggnog.

    O.M.G. There is no eggnog in the universe that even comes close.

    That's not a celebration, that's a diet.
