"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" --Perry Como




For you: Truvia Christmas tree.

How many people would create a Christmas tree out of the dregs of Truvia in a glass and take a picture of it for you?

One.

Me.

For you.

Because that's what life is. Unexpectedly beautiful. And residuey (residewy?). And often requires scrubbing.

    Interesting. It looks like a wedding dress to me. I'm not sure what that says about me. Please don't tell me.

    I have 22 coming for Thanksgiving. I refuse to even think about that other holiday until I survive the current one.

    I had to look up Truvia. Have never seen it around here.

    I thought it was a sorcerer's hat. Woah.

    That looks really neat. You can apparently make a Christmas tree out of anything, even artificial sweetener! :)

    I'm quite frankly bowled over by your generosity in producing that fine, fine work of art. :)

    Your drink certainly left behind a lovely trail of truvia. It does in fact look a little tree-like. Very crystalline - and just in time for Christmas!

    Um, the last two lines of this post? Brilliant.

    Although, not as brilliant as a Truvia Christmas tree, of course.

    And I didn't get you anything. Now I feel like a real schlub.

    AbbotofUnreason: I can see that. I'm not sure what that says about me, either.

    froggy: Priorities, for sure.

    The Bug: It was pretty tricky. What with drinking the lemonade and noticing the residue.

    Mike: I saw it in packets at a restaurant and had to check it out. Not awed.

    Felisa: I could see that.

    Pauline: Christmas magic is what that is there.

    The Vegetable Assassin: I care, dammit! *pounds fist on chest*

    Alice: Since it didn't dissolve, I don't seem to have ingested much at all!

    Cyndy: I'm glad you're happy with it. *hides gift behind back* That's all I got you.

    hannajustbreathe: Aw, thanks!

    Brutalism: That's the price I pay for being an arTEEST.
