So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Gourmet Candies and Chocolates

By Allyson Westcot


Chocolate has an engaging history that just adds to the delight of its rich, delicious taste.

When the joys of chocolate first dawned on the delighted Western world, it was commonly known as a novelty and a treat reserved for royalty and the highest classes of Western european society. Cacao beans were only used to make a rich, spicy hot-chocolate-like drink for years till techniques were developed and discovered that would use the cacao beans to create the solid chocolate candy we know today.

Once the manufacture of chocolate candy grew in renown, chocolate became much more accessible. It started to be available to all levels of society and was not only a luxury for the elect. This led straight to more wide-reaching experimentation with different ways to use chocolate.

Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, truffles, gourmet butter cream candy, and all of the many amazing treats we have today were created and refined. With firms contesting with one another to win people's notice, creativity abounded.

One of the most satisfying results of the centuries of development and work in the chocolate industry is the fun of a candy known as butter cream. Why? Due to the diversity that characterizes this delightful type of sweet. You'll be able to find chocolate butter cream candies stuffed with about any type of flavour you're craving. It uses white, milk or dark chocolate and combines all of the creativity which has come about over the years of enjoying chocolate.

From a weird, pungent drink that only a selected few would get to have, chocolate has evolved and been developed across the ages to become one of the world's favourite sweets. A great sweet to share with a mate, a special gift to say, "I love you," or a mouth-watering comfort at the end of a tedious day, chocolate has a great deal of uses and some ways to brighten people's days.
