Merry Christmas to you all!

I was reading a list of dos and don'ts published by a magazine the other day and did not understand some of them.

1) under the 'Dos': sneakily spike the nog at the office party

I've checked every word I don't understand but what has 'spiking the nog' got to do with Christmas?

2) under the 'Don'ts': acquire the mall decorations when no one is the wiser.

Does it mean 'stealing the decorations when no one knows?'

THANKS and wish you all a very merry Christmas!

1) It means to put alcohol in the egg nog.

2) They're advising you not to steal the mall's Christmas decorations.
