this christmas, i want to do something beautiful for my friends. give them something truly, truly delightful that will speak to them of how much i love them. but i know i won't have much money, as i am saving up for tuition and next spring's london trip and the two-hundred-and-fifty i promised miss prism and driving insurance, because i really must learn to drive sometime soon. what spare money i do have will probably be for tithe, fruit and veggies from the market, and ingredients to bake things for classmates, dearhearts, a&h darlings and all the rest.
i have it in my mind to have a dinner party sometime next year, to invite all the people i love and cook them a big delicious meal... but i had thought to do that in the spring, maybe after the last mainstage show closes. last christmas i baked chocolate chip cookies and wrapped them in pretty napkins, then put them in snowman cups along with christmas chocolates and peppermint patties and regular old striped peppermints and a quotation written on a slip of lovely paper. and i picked each quotation for each person specifically, then wrapped the cups in colored plastic and tied them with curled ribbons and wrote each person's name on the cups so i could make sure the right quotations made it to the right people.
and i think i'd like to do something along those lines again, because i was able to do that for a lot of people without spending too much of the money i don't really have. but i don't want to do the same thing over. and i realize christmas is more than six months away, but today i saw a breath of winter somewhere, and it got me thinking.
so if anyone has any ideas for delightful little things... something thoughtful that i can do with my own two hands to show how much i love everyone... yes, i would appreciate any ideas. and we certainly have plenty of time to think. ♥
