I have tons to do, so I'll just leave you with a little something delicious to take the edge off Christmas knitting (safe for Fuzzy Feet or a scarf, but I wouldn't try it with anything with a chart).
Homemade Eggnog:
Separate six eggs. Beat the yolks until frothy. Add one cup of sugar and mix until thick. Add 1 pint milk, 1 pint half and half, and a dash of salt. Add 5 cups of whisky, brandy, or rum (we used 1c brandy and 4c rum). Mix and chill. You're supposed to chill this in the fridge for "at least two hours." We did 10 min in the freezer. It seemed fine. Beat the egg whites with a bit of sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold into the mix, enjoy!

Why Wild Swan?
In The Wild Swans by HC Anderson, a girl must knit sweaters for her 12 brothers-turned-swans to make them human again, in the short time before she is to be burned as a witch, and she must do it with her bare hands using stinging nettles. In addition to being a very exciting example of knitting in fairy tales, it sums up the essence of knitting; though painfully frustrating at times, it is always worthwhile.
