We're fancy shmancy in this place, let me tell you. We don't just hand out chocolate goodies in plain tupperware containers. No siree. We put foamy stickers all over the containers first!
The crazy thing about these stickers is that we've had them for what seems like forever. I bought a tub of them when Clara was a toddler, so that she could decorate all of the Christmas cards we were sending out that year. It was a really, really, novice move on my part, to actually believe that a two-year-old would want to have anything to do with more than, say, the first three out of 50 cards. And she's a crafty kid. But she wasn't all that interested in the repetition and tedium of the whole endeavor. As a result, the foamy stickers have found their way into many a project for many a year. And thanks to tonight's sprucing-up of the tupperware, our supply has, at very long last, FINALLY, been exhausted. You had a good run, foamy stickers. Thanks for the memories.
Clara and Trevor were very excited to go out into the frosty night to deliver the goods to some of our neighbors. "Making Other People Happy" was one of Clara's suggestions for turning December into a month of giving, and it has been my experience that things coated in chocolate usually do the trick.
Two out of the five neighbors weren't home, and there was some mild to moderate bickering about who would deliver to whom, but overall, an evening of Making Other People Happy made us pretty happy.
