A/N - The holidays are back! I hope you enjoy the 2015 version of Jolex's 12 Days of Christmas!
Day 1 - Eggnog
"Jo!" Alex Karev called as he walked over to the bed, shaking his sleeping girlfriend. "You're going to be late!" The resident was called in the night before, so he couldn't blame her for wanting to sleep in. Unfortunately, surgeons didn't have that luxury.
"I'm up, I'm up," the brunette groaned as she rubbed the back of her hand across her eyes.
"Coffee?" the peds surgeon asked as he grabbed the pot he'd brewed minutes earlier.
"Yes, please."
Alex mixed her coffee first with two spoons of sugar, just as she liked. He opened the refrigerator and grabbed the glass bottle of milk for his coffee.
Or what he thought was milk.
After dipping the liquid in his coffee and taking a sip, Alex nearly choked. "What the hell is that?!"
"What?" Jo asked as she appeared in her blue scrubs and sipped her coffee.
"That, in that jar!"
"Eggnog."
"Eggnog?! Since when do we drink eggnog?"
"Since now," the brunette smiled. "This is our first Christmas in our new place, so...we're drinking eggnog."
"I like cider."
"Tough," Jo smirked. "You're drinking eggnog."
