Wow! Girls you have given me so many ideas. I went to the store yesterday and bought a bag full of different things to try. We will be celebrating Christmas on Christmas afternoon and I plan on trying lots of them. Jane...Never thought of Koolaid as flavoring but sounds interesting. Might try that too. I have put many things in clear Christmas bulbs but never thought of using it for Hot Chocolate mix. I have a new box of them and think I will try it this afternoon. Can't do much else.. It's raining with sleet mixed in. I guess I should be grateful that is all it is. We were to get really bad weather starting with rain, rain/sleet mix, ice and then ending with several inches of snow. I'll take the rain. Meanmom, I was just at our local Bergner dept store and saw the spoons there for $2.00 each. That is the cheapest I have seen. I am putting that on my to do list for next year. Thanks once again to all. Carol
