: This is my first time with this message board thing and I am really messing it up. I do have some ideas I've found looking around on the internet if I figure this out.
:
: CANDY GARLAND
: The anticipation is truly sweet with this candy chain. And it's so easy to make, your kids can prepare one for every member of the family.
:
: Start with two wrapped candies such as striped starlight mints, and using ribbon, tie a twisted plastic end of one to an end of the second mint. Continue until your chain has enough candies for your countdown. Hang your garlands from the mantel or from doorknobs. Each day, untie and eat one piece of candy.
: There is also a nice printable at www.kidsdomain.com where you glue cotton balls to Santa's beard.
