I found on a brief search that many seasonal decor mags online offer all kinds of fun ways to place edible goodies on your Christmas tree, from stringing cute gumdrops to cranberry and nut combos or baking your favorite cookies, painting them up in reds and greens, then using a sipping straw to create a hole at the top of each for a hanging hook. Great ideas. Our tree is already personalized with ornaments that we've collected -- or kids created -- over the years,
but we have been toying with the possibility of coming up with a new theme for some time. There is now a yearly minor ornament war battling out as to whether we stay old school or dive into the realm of a new but more generic style. The voting card usually comes down as Julia staunch old school, Janet neutral, and myself, at least for one year, try something new. So a compromise has been struck and I spent four hours stringing patterns on sewing thread of ten inches of popcorn and then one color wrappered Lindt cream candy around the entirety of the tree. It turned out nice -- old and new merging -- finding a way to have our tree and eat it too.
