This Christmas Goose is about to take part in a Christmas Punk. In 1985 I used to make these and sold them to boutiques and ward members and neighbors. It was quite a classy decoration. Some of you might remember. I even made one for Mrs Waingro, the pre-school teacher. Well, someone special asked for something from Avon that has been discontinued. I had to pay the triple premium from an Avon Rep in Europe to get probably the last two in existence.

I wondered how to package it in a unique way. I remembered when I wanted to teach my 15 year old son “How to not judge a book by its cover”. I bought a Barney the dinosaur book and laced 25 new one dollar bills tightly near the center of the book. To find them, he would have to open the book. He cast it aside. About 10 minutes later he gave me a chin tilt and scrunched up one eye. I could literally see the thought process in action. He calmly walked over and opened the book. What happened next was a flurry of pages and loud whoops! He learned a valuable lesson. Wish I had tick tock back then! Now, I did not have a pattern for this after 30 or more years, but I was obviously helped by angels.

I created a pattern that had an opening and lined pocket in the bottom , then made a large zippered gold egg out of velour. This story will continue when someone learns about “the goose that laid the golden egg”. She won’t consider the goose a great gift. We will see if she figures out what a Trojan goose holds within! She doesn’t have a high value for home made things and there is so much I’d like to teach her while I’m still here...maybe it’s will open that door. We will see! This would make a great family tradition. Every year a name would be drawn and someone would open a present only to find something special inside.

So Merry Christmas all from Ted and Karen. Write back and share you unique family tradition!
