Happy HO HO HO!

It has been crazy busy for us here at Lannie Rae Gourmet – as in unexpected, over the top, blown away busy! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

One of the traditions I (Alannah) have managed to maintain over the years, no matter where I have found myself, has been making my mom’s homemade eggnog. She has been making this for well over 35  years – growing up we used to have an open house party on Christmas Eve every year – everyone welcome, after church, before church or no church – it didn’t matter – all were welcome! I loved our Christmas Eve open house tradition!

Here is the recipe – it is sacred – you should feel lucky I am sharing it! ?
