Do you think the recipe would be irreversibly compromised if the rum were eliminated? While I enjoy the idea of alcohol, the reality never works out very well for me. 🙂

And the addition of aged rum in eggnog? Yes, please. What a timely reminder for the winter holidays to not force the joy to happen, as you said. Too often as parents, I think we allow ourselves to get so stressed out over coordinating the many details of daily life that we in turn cause unnecessary stress on our children. It is so helpful to be reminded to simply breathe and to be intentional about not becoming frazzled. Thank you for that.

I love that image of a patina over your favorite film. It’s so true. I feel so much better when I can sit back and just let each year be what it wants to be. There is so much more joy in that and really, that’s what it is about.
Thank you for your beautiful comment.

I find that those are my favourites, like the time I made cinnamon buns for Christmas morning, or when my parents made Gluhwein… The memories have a magical quality to them, like a patina that takes over a favourite film you’ve rewound a thousand times… But they still manage to pinch your heart. And I think that if they did happen every year, they might just lose some of that sparkle.
