>Eggbert will whisk visitors off to the candy dish that looks like a fireplace. Sorry, the candy’s gone. You’ll have to wait for cookies.

The snowman on the left is so tacky it’s adorable. It has a light inside that changes colors from pale blue, to lilac, to white. It’s ridiculous, but really sweet. Yes, it was a student gift. How can you tell?

The other snowpeople are a candy jar and salt and pepper shakers. They’re really cute, too. I might just have to use the shakers at Christmas dinner. And as for the rabbit hiding on the right — did you really think we’d decorate without bunnies? Not a chance.
