I was just wondering, can you freeze eggnog and then re-thaw it later on in the year?

@Christmasstar froze eggnog before, but I can't recall if it was store bought or home made. Various web sites state that store bought can be frozen up to 6 months in the unopened carton. However, some of those sites also state that the texture will be changed. It would be good for making eggnog pancakes!
 
Well its still raining here. Not real heavy but just enough that a lot of kids will probably stay home. I guess Ill just have to take one for the team and eat all of the leftover candy. LOL!!!

Happy Halloween!

Friday the folks on my end of the building (workplace) decided that they'd wear animal "onesie" costumes today. I was out Friday and didn't find out until it was too late, but last night I snagged some fox ears and a tail and am wearing an orange sweater and khaki cords, socks, and loafers. Didn't turn out too bad! So far we have a tiger, a flying squirrel, a pink bunny, a dinosaur, and a couple others. So festive!

I bet your costume looked perfect. I love those animal onesies. Today at work we had a unicorn and a dinosaur.

Happy Halloween, Christmas friends!

As predicted, Nancy was not amused when she realized that our stealth carver left an empty liquor bottle as part of the scene of the vomiting pumpkin. Why couldn't they leave a full bottle? LOL!! Just kidding! She would kill me just for joking about that! We saw one of the local preachers last night, and he mentioned that someone pointed out our house to him yesterday. Nancy flipped out, thinking he might've seen the bottle on the front step. I assured her that you couldn't tell what it was from the road. Whew, dodged THAT bullet!

Elizabeth's play was a great, sold-out success! All of the kids gave a great performance, especially Elizabeth. ;) The dinner was super, too. They have regional competition on Friday, then an encore Dessert Theater performance at school again next Thursday. Here she is on the porch that required all of my carpentry talents:

I hope y'all have a spooky day! :D

Elizabeth looked beautiful. Great job on building the porch.
 
Happy Halloween! I worked until 4 and then we went out trick or treating. We were home by 7 which is pretty decent. Her pumpkin was so full I had to carry it in between houses. The candy is all put away and hidden. I'm just waiting for Carolina to fall asleep. I am flipping between Hocus Pocus and Hallmark now. Have a great day everyone!
 
Almost done with one of the projects I've been working on for the store. Just wanted to wish everyone a merry tomorrow/November 1st!!
 
Good Halloween evening! A few employees dressed up today and I had an employee dress like in the 80s, like me. She's only 20 but spoke of watching 80s movies on VHS(!) with her father.

I had an interesting experience today. I was holding our Health and Safety committee meeting and November is a month to promote staying warm in cold temperatures. We have to find ways to promote the monthly theme and I suggested asking employees on a voluntary basis to bring in mittens and tuques to donate to a local school. One of the committee members thought that employees would not like to be asked for another contribution since the 13 stores in our district are already helping to put together a Christmas party for families in need, again all on a voluntary basis. The other two members present did not speak up to say otherwise. I didn't know there was a cap on generosity and good will. You can chose to donate to one activity and not the other. Anyway I didn't push it any further but I was disappointed to say the least. I'm getting to know our employees and what makes them tick (shrug).

Hope everyone has been enjoying Halloween and will get to enjoy some candy.
 
No trick-or-treaters. I guess I’m too far off the beaten track. Well, I was hoping for some and now I got a big ole bowl full of chocolate to get rid of some way, some how.

Tomorrow, it’s November 1st, it is my sons birthday and also the Christmas music will start playing on Sirius radio. We got an email today at work, about the office Christmas party in December. This is all so exciting. The season is upon us; Thank you God!

We were talking tonight about Christmas gift ideas and Christmas as a whole, it’s going to be exciting having our first Christmas in our home. We are definitely hanging stockings on the mantle for the kitties.
 
Happy November MMC! Had a good Halloween. It's a special day and a fun one. I saw on the news a petition was being made to move Halloween to the last Saturday of October. It would be good in a way but I think it just would feel weird not to have Halloween be the 31st of October. Anyway, can't believe that we are 3 weeks till THANKSGIVING! That's like almost the best day of the year. Have a great day!
