This is a wish jar. It's been on top of the fridge for many years. The idea was for everyone to put in a wish every day. Of course, that lasted about a week, then we mostly forgot. Today is D's birthday. We got down the wish jar and laughed as we read through and remembered those old wishes. Then, we all wrote new ones and added them to the jar. Those wishes will stay a secret, until the next birthday when (if I can remember) we'll take down the jar again, read those wishes, and add some more to the wish jar.
