Twist holiday traditions for eggnog "Yule"
Christmas holidays are especially rich with Old World traditions.
•Decorated trees and the exchange o f gifts date back to ancient celebra
tions o f winter.
•M istletoe was thought to be a cure for infertility; hence the custom o f
kissing under its branches.
•Long-lived legends surround the use o f holly. For centuries, it was hung
in homes to provide refuge for friendly spirits from the inclemency o f win
ter.
•Prickly holly is considered male; non-prickly holly, female. And which
ever is brought into the home first at Christmastime is said to indicate
whether the husband or wife will rule that year.
Many traditions and holiday celebrations, though, now have New World
twists.
•S t. Nicholas has become Santa Claus with his reindeer-powered sleigh.
•Festive foods include native American staples such as pum pkin and
sweet potatoes next to the mince “ pyes” and Yule logs o f yesteryear.
•Inspired by such twists on tradition, here is a soon-to-be habit-forming
transformations o f the customary Christmas cocktail, eggnog.
