How many of your have been shaking your packages? When we were little shaking, pinching, and peeking around tape were our favorite pastime in the week or so before Christmas. My parents began to hide a cow bell in one package, and we had great fun finding it. I didn't carry that tradition with me, but when I found this jingle bell among my decorations I was reminded of that clanky old cow bell. Might have to look for it when I visit them Christmas Day.
