I did, but not seriously. Although I have eaten good fruitcake, but it's rare.

Two things I love, fruitcake and eggnog.   Not really. Although I've had fruitcake that was really tasty, but never eggnog that got very far past my lips.

I thought of this one for your pine cones Dex. Kids did this one, but I bet you could spruce it up and make a nice holiday decoration for an adult.

You need a large, tree shaped pine cone, glitter, cotton balls or that snowy looking felt, dental floss and a needle, glue (Elmer's is fine), small beads and a small bow or star.

Glue a few cotton balls or felt to the bottom of the pine cone to make it look like snow and it helps the "tree" stand up. You could probably get fancier w/felt and maybe wrapping paper and make it look like a tree skirt.

Put a little dab of glue at the tips of the pine cone and then sprinkle on glitter. We got some of the "white shavings" instead and that looked pretty cool.


You can string the small beads w/the dental floss or you can buy a strand of small holiday beads and use those, then wrap the beads around the pine cone and glue them to the tree.

Use your small bow or star to top off the tree. I bet there's a way to get creative w/that too.

Thanks PIYA!!! That is a great idea. I think I'll try that one.
