Now here's a suggestion so glorious, I just had to republish it here for the benefit of the local readership. Full credit to Maggie Savarino (wineoffensive.com):
Start a new holiday tradition of your own with these Lazzaroni Amaretti? di Saronno. Each pair of little dry?, slightly meringue-like cookies come wrapped in a beautifully decorated tissue for you to light on fire.
Flatten the tissue and make a cylinder of it. Set it on the table and light from the top. The flame will travel down the paper, causing it to take flight when it reaches the bottom.
A perfect mini ceremony for New Year’s, I write something to forget and something to remember on the paper, then burn away all my troubles and worries...
