Very good Mousethief, LOL at the 'Santa cookie' part and the mashed potato volcano. But I would add that no mashed 'tater volcano is complete without an artery clogging glob of butter positioned in the center and then add the gravy boat contents and watch the butter melt before you dig in. Also very important to follow the gravy at all times, making sure you know it's position on the table at any given moment, as well as how much is left inside.

Eggnog is great with Scotch, and I've had it that way a few times, but using Bacardi's 151 is almost an epiphanous event. And of course, the nog itself provides the stomach lining needed to ingest alcohol of such power, so you don't need to eat anything until dinnertime! Just a thought.

Enjoyed your list
