Fine Art Daily, orange

December 1, 2010
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. Tibbar, tibbar, tibbar.
Welcome to December!
A very faithful Gentle Reader sent me this idea yesterday for a traditional Christmas decoration - an orange studded with cloves. This is an easy and aromatic way to bring some holiday cheer to your home. Meems further enhanced its visual appeal by encircling the orange with magnolia leaves, but she suggests that bay leaves work just as well. We try to assemble a few of these every Christmas, as they are relatively child-safe. There is always the danger of sore thumbs and inhalation of cloves, so be sure your child doesn't want to experiment too much. Ho-ho-ho!
