A special Christmas sleigh

We have good friends who live in the same lifestyle village that we do. It was through them that we found out about this place. Unlike us, they have a number of grandchildren and will be seeing them all at Christmas. We don’t have any grandchildren and, as we get older, I guess we notice it a bit more. My friend has made each of the grandies a little sleigh which is full of tiny sweets and chocolates. The ski parts are candy canes and she has wrapped each chocolate separately. Can’t they cute? I did ask her if she had made extra but it seems not. Tonight, we’re going to see A Castle for Christmas starring Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes. Has anyone seen it? It’s been given a good write-up. The photo is my friend’s.

Children will love the sleigh and in stead of riding it they will chew and slurp it with joy.

She has even found a Father Christmas to put up the front.

It's really cute. @marlina has put up a link for a little train too which is really effective.

That's a nice treat for her grandchildren. I saw a piece of it this morning, I think, on Hallmark when I was in the fitness center.

@JudyEv I just saw the title on Netflix and realize I haven't seen it. Thanks for letting me know it's good. I'll watch it.

@just4him I'm a bit surprised they were able to find such an up-to-date film for us.

I like Cary Elwes, but haven't heard of this film. Also, I don't think I have seen a Cadbury Freddo before

The film was a feel-good movie. Very enjoyable. So do you have chocolate frogs there but of another brand? One year, for one of the boys' birthdays, I stuck frogs half in, half out, of green jelly. One little boy wouldn't eat his.

@Ronrybs You'll have to check out the chocolate aisles next time you're in a shop.

it's very cute, the candy and chocolate sled creation looks good, your friend is very smart in making it and it must be sweet. Christmas is usually synonymous with snow, has it snowed there?

We never get snow in our part of Australia. It's summer for the southern hemisphere so mostly hot and dry.

@JudyEv ohh sorry i was wrong about that, first i thought that in all of Australia it would snow and it was winter there now, it turned out all wrong.

I think this will be the second or third year now and they all expect a sleigh now - even the older teenagers!

@JudyEv That is not nice, not nice at all. My husband "suggests" to make the white profiteroles next week, to check if I can do a good job for our anniversary.

@LadyDuck I think your husband is right to suggest you make profiteroles. It could be that you have forgotten.

I know the feeling - not exactly the same but - I never married or found anyone or had kids (it's ok, didn't want them), but I realize as some of my age cohort are becoming grandparents, this means I won't have that, either. I wish you much peace surrounding that. That is a very cute and inventive little treat though and I like the idea of Freddo looks yum!

It doesn't worry me but Vince is wonderful with kids and would have made such a wonderful grandfather. I am sorry for his sake.
