Growing up we had this ribbon that hung on the back of the kitchen door at Christmastime. I think at one point it had to be moved to a higher hook because the dog managed to eat the candies off (wrappers and all). Anyhoo, it had 24 candies tied to it--nougaty mints with a Christmas tree shape in the center were my favorite. Starting December 1st we untied one candy each day until Christmas Eve. We loved it. When kid-having time came, I took it to California and then off to Berlin.
So now my sister is pregnant and she'll have (in a few years' time) a little rugrat who can't keep track of how many more days until Christmas. I decided it was only fair to make her a new candy ribbon, and it's finally finished! I couldn't find a sufficiently ratty Christmas tree to put on the top, so the new one has a Santa head. I'll send it home with mom--hope the little dude likes it!
