This year, Mark worked very hard, without any help from either myself nor The Child, and created a series of Christmas Tree Decorations. Out of single-serving cereal boxes. 
The Child's Mother has, over the last several years, sent The Child a carton of small cereal boxes for special occasions, like birthdays and Christmas. I think Mark has been wanting to do some sort of craft project with them for some time, because he had saved about thirty of the boxes. 
From about St. Nicolaus day forward, he's been gluing ribbons to boxes, or cutting out cartoon mascots, and otherwise altering boxes to make them more seasonally festive. He even got some clear plastic spheres and filled them with various cereals (which was tricky, and in the end, "Fruity Pebbles," was the cereal that best fit through the narrow bottle-neck opening).
I like the Tony the Tiger star topper the best.
