I've been here before, but will be back much more often. I am so taken by this wonderfully creative idea for an advent calendar. I hope I can do something similar before we find ourselves at Advent 2012.

Give them a day or two then take them out and crack them. We ate the nuts and had no ill effects that I recall so freezing cant have harmed the nuts.<br />Someone told me this years ago and it works!liniecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643986273499722414noreply@blogger.com
