A few of our wrapping boxes are over thirty years old. They come out every Christmas for a new covering of wrapping and ribbons. None of my boxes are as special and cool as your Christmas box!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-81827703929014063252022-12-22T11:41:37.557-07:002022-12-22T11:41:37.557-07:00What a great story!

My mother-in-law shared one of your memes with me recently (Jesus Christ was originally going to be named Gary) and I thought I need to know this person because that is my type of humor. Well, as it turns out, we have a lot of blogging friends in common so I thought I definitely should say hi so hi.

That's what I love about collecting not just the interesting item but learning all the backstory goodies about a thing! I have a nativity scene from the 1950's that I inherited from my Mom. It's in a shoe box, lovingly wrapped in Christmas paper of the time. It's tucked away in a closet and I rarely bring it out. Now that you've reminded me of it, maybe I'll bring it out. Merry Christmas Debra!

The Lady Bug Chocolate did finally get opened years and years later. By that time, Swiss Lady Bug chocolates could be purchased here in Canada too, so they were no longer a unique novelty item. We knew that the chocolate would not be edible after so many years, but we unwrapped it just to see what ancient milk chocolate looked like. Neither pretty nor appetizing, lol.
