Crabmom's blogocratic oath: 
Rule #1: Never post if you've had a good day. If you have a good day as a mom, keep it to yourself.
Rule#2: Never post any pictures of Crabtot. Some of you have asked me why. I don't think it's ethical to post pictures of one's kids when they haven't given permission to show them. Also I think cutesy tot photos are the bête-noire of parentblogging. They encourage self-indulgent fishing-for-compliments writing and dull congratulatory comments from readers. I'm not saying everyone who posts tot pics is a bragmommy, just that for Crabmommy, saying no to Crabtot pics keeps me focused on my mission: to brag about myself (and complain about motherhood).

That said, I'm also a momocrite. And I have a picture I want you to see. I suppose I could black out Crabtot's eyes (if I weren't so tech-challenged), but it might ruin the effect. So instead I'll just give a disclaimer: What you're about to see isn't really a picture of Crabtot; it's a craft project that so happens to incorporate her mug. And it's 2 years old. And it has a purpose beyond (mere) admiration of Crabtot: I want to share with you my one and only moment of Christmas Craftacular inspiration, the Treetop Tot Angel:
How to Make a Ridiculously Easy Treetop Angel (so cute even an atheist can't resist!)

Materials:
Christmas wrapping paper/any stiff-ish paper; photo of your kid's head, preferably making some sort of rude face (see Crabtot sticking out tongue); head must be in close-up, say around 3 inches in diameter

1. Cut a biggish square-ish piece of paper (A4 size is probably about right, but this is very flexible).
2. Fold into a cone. You should have a smallish pointy bit at the top where the "neck" is, and a wide bell-shape at the bottom of the angel's "dress." Make sure your neck isn't too wide. It must be a fair bit narrower than tot head (see photo).
3. Staple/tape dress together. Trim base to make it straight.
4. Angel wings: Turn holiday paper over so that you just have white, or else get fancy and use gold paper. Fold paper over once and cut a single angel wing shape into your double layer of paper. Unfold and presto! 2 angel wings. Tape or staple to your cone.
4. Cut out tot photo head, preferably with a bit of neck.
5. With tape or a glue-stick, attach tot head onto front of angel, covering the pointy top of the dress (neck part can go on the inside or outside of the cone). Alternatively, for maximum durability, you could affix head to a popsicle stick and then insert the stick (coated front-side with Elmer's) into the cone. But dang, that's too fancy for me! However you do it, make sure the tape/glue closes up the top part of the cone, so that it can slip onto the tippy-top of your tree and stay there.
6. Draw and color a yellow halo. Cut it out. Slide over tot head at devilish angle. Tape or glue-stick it in place.

Now you have your very own personal angel/devil to crown the Christmas tree, reminding everyone who's really on top in this house! Remove carefully after the festivities and save. Even though it's half-assedly made of paper, ours is onto its third Christmas/Kwanzaa/ Festivus.
