A Delightful Gift

There are some really neat gift ideas out there, and with the internet so handy it is pretty easy to find some absolutely adorable things to make for teachers and friends. One of my children came home from  school this past week with an absolutely adorable gift...

Isn't that the cutest hot chocolate making gift you ever saw? It is made in a clear cake decorating bag with green or red candies in the top, then a thin layer of marshmallows, then hot chocolate mix and a larger amount of marshmallows. It is tied off at the bottom with a twist tie and a ribbon and then a nose and eyes are glued on as well as a cotton ball for a mustache and a pom pom on top for the tip of the hat! I love it. It is so unique!

What fun it is to use our creativity to delight and thrill others at Christmas time. I love hand made gifts. I love making them and I love receiving them. I love the thought that goes into them and the loving time that is given as part of the gift. Christmas time gives us so many opportunities for us to share the joy we feel each and every day with others. When we do, our joy and theirs grows. It's contagious and wonderful.

Merry Christmas!!!
