My National Heritage gift

 For 2012, the gift my friends gave had to be something indicative of their national heritage. I'm mostly German but have significant portions of Swede and Swiss. I asked my brother Brent if he could make a box that had a kinda 'Black Forest' look. We finally settled on this oak leaf and acorn pattern that he had used before on a shelf he made me. The wood is from some leftover pieces of oak trim when my house was built. After Brent built it we had the sides fitted w/ a green glass. I filled it w/ chocolate

bars. (What could be more Swiss than chocolate?) Then I wrapped the whole thing in a pale blue box w/ bright yellow ribbon - just like the Swedish flag. So I accounted for all of my heritages.  In 2011, I gave Nancy a box w/ secret compartments for last year's subject "Trojan Wars" and for 2012 Kris got this "National Heritage" box.  I picked Kathy's name for Christmas 2013.   How much you want to bet she gets a box?
