For stocking stuffers this year, I am making candy grams. You remember the cutesy letters, typically reserved for Valentines, that had candy names worked into the bylines. Conveniently I am calling mine Christmas Wishes, which is possible the weakest premise there ever was for stuffing stockings with candy. Somehow the paper and words makes the candy gift more sophisticated, don't you think? Like candy presented this way might not even cause concern for cavities. Calligraphy would complete the ruse. At the very least the whole project makes use of the socks I have hanging above the fireplace. At most, the people whose names grace the socks will feel special. Maybe titters will wash over the group and someone will snort and the laughter will rise to a full-boil and our sides will hurt as we rock back and forth with our laughter trying to pull our lips over our candy coated teeth but failing miserably, which will fuel more laughter. It will be the Christmas Sleepover that everyone will talk about for years to come. As a general rule I shoot for the moon.
I need six but my brain has stopped at a magic five. Help. (Use your imagination. Scrolling calligraphy, fine papers. Candy with wrappers so thin you can smell the sweetness about to beheld.)
May you find [Mounds] of joy.
May you find your [Whatchamacallit] where ever you look for it.
May life be a box of [Chocolate-covered cherries], predictable and delicious.
There are many [Swedish fish] in the sea, may you catch your limit.
May you find your toes and sweaters [Lindt] free.
I'm already rolling with laughter. Thank you for making me smile big this afternoon.
