No Egg Nog This Year

Am I allowed to have traditions after only one Christmas?  Well, I do.  After Thanksgiving, we're supposed to put up Christmas decorations and drink Mormor's homemade egg nog.  Well, not this year.  We're not having the egg nog this year because eggs come on carts like that one above, often with feathers and other residue from the egg farms still attached, and they're usually sold next to the meat department.

Mom says she knows she risked it last year, but this year she wants to be even more careful.

She says that's because of what's in her belly, and because she says eventually I'll get a little brother or sister out of the deal, I said that it was all right to skip the egg nog and just eat homemade cookies while we watched our Christmas movie this year.
