At work everyone was split into groups and had to decorate a Christmas tree. I ended up taking photos of em! The one in particular, the M&M tree. If you don't know what M&M's are - they are a chocolate candy here in Canada. They're pretty good. The tree is decorated with cookie wreathes with M&M's put on them with icing. The office staff put paper clips to add their little touch to it.

Just a few photos. I had some fun doing the bokeh shot - that was pretty cool actually.

6. Pretty Bokeh thing I tried! Way too much dust going on.

hmm.. is it just me or has the world forgotten M&M's? I honestly didn't think there was a single person who didn't know what they were. Nice pic btw

Wow now thats a funny task to do at work, your boss seems to know very well
how to make the workers happy and get them in the Christmas mood!

Very sweet pictures i love them - and especially the M&M tree is my favorite!!!!

Now a little history class on its origin as many have asked this question already...
Of course one of the M in its name derives from Malte:
Sweet like chocolate when you put them in your mouth and no biting for longer fun


Now.... if you take some of its "fruits" from the tree and plant them in the garden
... you might eventually see a little M&M tree pop out of the ground next spring!!!
Treat it well with water and lots of sun and you can harvest the delicious crops in summer.


I used to have a kind of special m&m box for them some years back.
So you fill the entire portion inside at the top and can see them through the glass
and then press a button so that one of them will roll down to the bottom straight into your mouth

Haha - yeah, they did something different this year at work so it was cool! I imagine they're going to do the same next year everyone seemed to have fun with it. Anything to get away from work for a little while!

Whoa that's a nifty little M&M box you had there; they make so many different things with those candies - haha. Thanks for looking



Haha well I am not sure if they sell these in the States or other countries. I know I didn't see them in Europe when I went there .
