Christmas Fruits

We have a system for buying Christmas gifts for the kids. They get one toy each, two items of clothing and something healthy or educational. The first aren’t a problem. Catalogs and magazines start pouring Christmas Gift Ideas into kids’ heads as early as November. They already know which toy they want. Actually they have a list and I pick out the more reasonable one and clothes are never a problem. But the most important gift for me and my husband is the healthy one. We look online and in stores for something that will help build our child’s health or brain.

For a long time we’ve been giving them fruit for Christmas. But it isn’t easy getting kids to eat fruit over candy, especially if the fruit is wrapped in green net and placed in a wicker basket. The kids will always want candy canes over it. So I try and make the fruit look attractive and that has proved to be very hard. I can’t think of a whole lot of things to do with fruit and I end up wasting most of it. I gave up trying to do anything myself and searched for a nice Christmas Fruit basket online. I found some wonderful Christmas fruit on the internet. It was something that my kids would be tempted to eat. The fruit looked so wonderful, it had been cut and arranged like flowers, the pineapple was cut into daisy shapes and the strawberries had been dipped in chocolate. The whole effect was very appealing and made my mouth water. The kids loved the Christmas fruit gift even more than the toys they had received.
