I don't know how our toys got put together and the tree decorated since we had potent egg nog too. We were sent to bed, but peeked. Never caught Santa.

My family moved out of New England where all the relatives were before I was born and we didn't come back for fifteen or so years. So, we didn't have a tradition of spending Christmas with cousins, which would have been nice. My father made quite a bourbon eggnog as well - it was practically flammable!
