Once a year grocery store shelves become cluttered with rows and rows of eggnog cartons.  This holiday drink is as customary as turkey dinner at Thanksgiving time and sugar cookies by the fireplace for Santa at Christmas.  Try as we might to remember everything during holiday shopping trips, sometimes the blaringly obvious items such as eggnog are the ones that go forgotten in the grocery cart.
