In the holiday spirit, I share a few photos from my only “successful” Christmas crafts project, from lo many years ago.
At one time, both the deer (yes, that’s a deer) and the tree stood proudly but have palsied over time and with too many adjustments.
I still have four nearly-full packets of green, red and white pipe cleaners from this effort.
My favorite Christmas craft, however, I always associate with my dad, who excels at it. Ladies and gents, I present…..
…the clove-orange dusted with cinnamon. It tears up your thumb pad (thumping all those cloves) and is in many ways not very attractive (this one definitely lacks in the number of cloves).
But the scent, as the days go by, is worth it. And isn’t that what Christmas is all about?
