    Love eggnog

    Love snow

    Dislike surprises, unless I'm planning them for someone else

      Eggnog: I like it, unspiked. Haven't had it in ages and I usually dilute it anyway, a little goes a long way.

      Snow: Meh. I like when the world is utterly silent during/immediately after a snow. That's beautiful. However, driving in it, dealing with it, not my thing.

      Surprises: I love giving the perfect gift and being surprised is nice too.

        Even the thought of eggnog makes me nauseated, lol.

        I love TN brand snow. Just enough snow to really feel like you've had a winter but not so much that if effects your life.

        I think surprises can be a blast but I'm not very good at planning them.

          1. Eggnog? Disgusting. Literally makes me gag.

          2. Snow? Not unless I'm on skis going downhill on it. Otherwise, I have no use for it and prefer to live where it almost never happens.

          3. Like giving them very much, hate receiving them.

            Team green, though?!? That's the biggest surprise ever, and you did it twice

              1) I like egg nog in small doses. I've never had it spiked.

              2) I hate snow and winter and wouldn't be unhappy to never experience either again.

              3) I enjoy both planning and receiving surprises!

                1) eggnog. Never tried it and have always regarded it with suspicion.

                2) snow. I love snow, but it gets quite wearying by February if it's a snowy year.

                3) surprises. Depends. Party for me=bad. Sweet wheels for my 40th=good. The only surprises I do for others are gifts, which are fun.

                  1) Eggnog = good. I look forward to Starbucks eggnog lattes more than pumpkin spice lattes.

                  2) Snow. Depends on the quality of the snow and how much of it. Light, fluffy, dry, new snow = awesomeness. Fifteen inches of the icy, wet, muddy snow that has been sitting on the street for days = awful.

                  3) Surprises. Not a big fan. Especially if I'm the recipient. But DrK loves it when I plan surprises for him.

                    1. One cup is ok...a little goes a long way and I'd rather have it unspiked.

                    2. Snow is great but that's coming from someone who doesn't have to deal with the sludge and crap that goes along with flaky goodness.

                    3. I can go either way with surprises. If it's a good one like hey, SO and I get to spend more than a day together, then awesome. If it's hey, I'm a week late, then not so much.

                      Eggnog: LOVE it, spiked or not.
                      Snow: Hate, HATE, hate it. So Effing tired of shoveling it and it is only December 14th.
                      Surprises: Not so sure on this one.

                        Don't go for the eggnog usually.

                        Love to ski!! Just got a foot of fluffy snow last night. *swish, swish, swish*

                        I love both getting and giving surprises. If anyone puts that much dedicated though into me I'm thrilled. What a gift of time and energy. It really fun giving them too, but I'm terrible about keeping it surprise. I'm like a little kid.

                          I hate eggnog. Not sure what it is but I can't do it.

                          Love snow until it becomes brown/black and crusty. Then it's gross and needs to just go away.

                          And I love surprises, both giving and getting. We're planning a surprise now - hope it goes over well!

                            Is everyone talking about store-bought eggnog or homemade? I think I've only had homemade once and it was just okay. I do like store-bought (mostly because I loved it as a kid) with extra nutmeg added. Obviously a once-a-year treat, though. And my husband is grossed out by it, so that kind of puts the kibosh on it. I've never had it spiked, but now I think I'll try it this year.

                            I miss December snow. Do not miss any of the other months' snow, though. It should be 25 degrees and snowy for three weeks, and then it should be 40 degrees for the rest of the winter.

                            I mostly do not like surprises. I like looking forward to things. There are lots of exceptions, though, especially for small surprises.

                              I really like eggnog, never had it spiked. The stuff in the grocery stores here in glass bottles from a localish dairy is *so* good.

                              I still love snow; holdover from growing up where we MAYBE got a dusting once a year, and anything more than that meant days off from school. They deal with it so well here that it's never been a real problem; only real annoyance is the constant salty residue all over my car, necessitating frequent winter car washes.

                              For being on the receiving end of surprises, it *really* depends on the surprise. I don't (yet) have to buy my own gifts, thankfully, but I do have an amazon wish list I try to keep up to make things simpler for people. I do like trying to surprise people (in pleasant ways).

                                Add me to the group of eggnog is YUCK.

                                I like snow. I don't like it when its melting and sloppy.

                                I like surprises. I like giving them too.
