EATING THE 
CHRISTMAS TREE 
.V 
y 
I N place of the silver and gold tinsel ornaments, glass icicles, wax Santa Clauses and paper angels, 
why not trim the Christmas tree entirely with things to eat? 
Garlands of pink and white popcorn, loops of bright red cranberries and striped peppermint canes 
belong on every Christmas tree. In addition there are chocolate drops wrapped in colorful tin foil, and 
bunches of candy grapes in silver and gold paper that make delightfully brilliant spots here and there. 
Tiny bottles made of chocolate and done up in the gayest of metal papers can be hung in bunches 
at the end of a bough. Then there are the innumerable amusing shapes for cutting Christmas cookies— 
animals, birds, the sun, moon and stars, a pompous gentleman and comfortable market woman. 
If one desires cookies already made, there is a most impressive Santa Claus in gingerbread, decorated 
with sugar. Finally, a tiny old-fashioned bouquet and a decorative little potted tree made of gum 
drops in different colors are as gay to look at as they are delectable to eat. 
The candles should be white, and if the tree is set into a bright red pot the effect will be quite as 
colorful and gay and far more amusing than the tree of olden time, hung with rainbow baubles.
