Fond Memories

i dont really remember getting chocolate much as a kid but since i have been married, my hubby has always gotten me some chocolate for Christmas which i love.

Chocolate was there for me when I had a lot of stressful times. When I am about to give a presentation, obviously there are times where I have some nerves. It is only inevitable. Therefore, it is important that I have some chocolate. I associate chocolate with having me cope with some stressful times. It has helped calm me a lot of the time.

I love chocolate. One of my favorite memories of my grandfather is that he always got two boxes of chocolate covered cherries for Christmas and his birthday (Both were Dec.25) and he would eat one and share the other box. Also, I always got chocolate in my stocking so I would eat it as soon as I could get by with it. I love having hot cocoa on Christmas Eve as well. We used to go look at lights and then go home and have hot cocoa later in the evening.

I love eating chocolates. I have a lot of memories relating to it as I eat a lot of it. I usually eat chocolates when I'm low on energy, when I'm sad or when I'm sick. It's like my body is longing for it. It has somehow become my medicine haha! Relating Christmas to chocolates though, I remember my aunt would buy this December calendar for us that as chocolate inside. Everyday, you will open the calendar "door" which corresponds to a date. When you open it, there's a chocolate square and you get to eat the chocolate! It's a really fun way of counting down the days until Christmas and new year!
