yeah, i miss that kind a lot more than the chocolate kind; i just remember the chocolate kind as being an extra treat at the time. i had a glitter one with xmas-themed mini-pics for years, and i don't recall ever getting tired of re-opening the windows.

i feel tempted to make one, except for the pictures i'd use small scherenscnnitte (what the heck is that in english -- there's a word i haven't used in more than 30 years, *heh*) -- paper cutouts, i guess, and glue jeweltone-coloured transparent paper behind. come to think of it, i've never seen that sort of paper here either, and we used it a lot as kids, to make luminaries. hey, i could make an advent calendar in the shape of a lantern, and use it as a luminary. i like that, i think.

but definitely with the silver glitter!
