“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.”

― Charles M. Schulz

‘The Endless Chocolate on Christmas Day’

Presents piled high underneath the Christmas Tree, their wrapping paper shimmering under the low lighting of the living room. The stockings are stuffed full of a hodgepodge of small trinkets that will be left in a kitchen drawer eventually, as the real excitement comes when Grandma arrives bringing chocolates of all different shapes, sizes and colours, in tins, jars and on plates.

“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.”

― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
