My solution was to find a Christmas design in an old QNM, enlarge it, and make a quick, small quiltlet to glue on the lid. This only took me about an hour last night (well, early this morning, to be accurate).

My first time to post photos. Hope this works.

You did a great job. Love the idea. Looks like you added some batting and glued it to the Tin. Wonderful.
