Oh, and drink an 8 to 12 oz cup of eggnog before each lap. Easy! Though a fair bit of warning, going slow is likely the best way to do this one.
Bring your own eggnog (dairy free alternatives, or Apple Cider substitutes, are completely acceptable), and join us for one hoot of a great time! No alcoholic beverages though please.
