Prompt 4, Egg Nog
"More eggnog, Mr. John?"
"Thanks, Kyrano." John held out his punch cup, the sides already milky tinted with his first – and second – helpings. The retainer carefully refilled it with the thick, creamy mixture.
"Better go easy on that, son," Jeff observed, holding out his own cup for another libation. "It's strong this year."
"Just what I need, Dad." John sipped his drink. "Have to fortify myself for Grandma's yearly request."
Jeff's silvered eyebrows arched upward. "Ah. Then I'd better make sure your brothers are well 'fortified', too. Maybe you'll all sing in tune."
John grinned. "Don't count on it, Dad."
