Candy Cane “Protest”

Well, it finally happened. The youth “revolted” and wrote me a “nasty” note a few Sundays ago. See, for the Christmas season, I have table decorations which include candy canes and holly in a glass vase. Here is a picture of the table decor.

A nice arrangement with the perfect number of candy canes in each display, 7. A holly branch coming out the top and glass “stones” in the bottom add to beauty of the centerpiece for each table.

As you can see, the candy canes are prominent in the display. Now we all know and understand youth. They have their growth spurts and consequently they at times like to eat everything in sight and so seeing the candy canes on a regular basis, but not being able to enjoy their peppermint flavor apparently proved to be too much for some. It seems the youth began to salivate like Pavlov’s dog whenever they were there and saw the table decor.

Consequently…… the youth “snapped” and left the following note for me….
(Note, the bottom of the note reads, “Sincerely, The Youth Group and others – P.S. Nobody had [better] remove this!” )  

I did

I snickered when I saw this because I knew the candy canes would be a “temptation” for the youth and children. I had fun with it at the youth Christmas party the following Friday evening. It’s great to be able to build relationships with youth where we can have fun with one another.

I wonder what will be next
