Years ago I was asked to volunteer to do face painting for a Christmas party.
I can't face paint - my art talent is limited to watching the guy with the 'fro on PBS.;)
I sat down, daunted, struggling thru the first handful of kids.
Who knew kids didn't care about a Christmas tree or reindeer, they wanted the cartoon character of the day drawn on their faces!
By the time I got good at Christmas trees, wreaths and reindeer, the party was over.
-----------------------
In the end it wasn't about toys, trees or the fad of the day.
It was the look of a kid's face when you put up the mirror so they could see what you did for them.

I picked up some face paints for a dollar at the store the other day.
You never know when you may need them?:D
