Please Take One

There's a family on my street who every year at Christmas time decorate their front gate with tinsel and candy canes and tape up a hand written note that says, 'Please Take One'.

And every year I'm touched by this guesture, but any inclination I might have to offer festive treats of my own is curtailed by the firm belief that sugar is bad for you so here's what I've put up on my front gate instead.



You may find this as sickeningly sweet as those red and white striped candy canes, but like that family down the road, I don't care what anyone else thinks, I'm just going to offer up my christmas gifts for passers by to take, should they choose to do so.
