Ornaments With a Purpose

I thought these were really fun.  You can hang them on your tree and then enjoy a smooth cup of cocoa before returning all the decorations to their storage boxes.  You can always add a splash of Schnapps to the mug!  (That's one thing I miss about my own boys being young.  Spending a full day shopping with my Mom and sending more than half of our purchases home with her to store in her walk-in closet.  On Christmas Eve, the boys, their dad and I would arrive at their house where Mom and I would spend a few hours in the afternoon hiding out in my parents bedroom wrapping Santa gifts.  My Dad would always supply us with a glass or two of Peppermint Schnapps on ice for the endeavor.  Needless to say, we would giggle our way through a lot of paper and tape!  Those were special times that I will forever hold dear in my heart.)  And though we won't be filling a Santa closet this year, I am looking forward to Christmas shopping with Mom on Friday.  There are a lot of giggles on our horizon!  I can't wait Mom!  P.S.  We can't get lost in the mall here!
