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

Surprise Someone Special With Chocolate Gifts

By Elba Fenwick


These days thinking up a unique gift idea can be a difficult proposition, and often we simply opt for gift cards, flower bouquets and perhaps a box of chocolates. If you are giving a gift to someone with a sweet tooth, there are some easy-to-order options that are a bit more creative than the aforementioned gift ideas and will certainly be a bit more exciting for your loved one to receive.

Handmade, gourmet chocolates are always a great idea, and for a fun twist on the typical chocolate gift, consider a Chocolate Pizza. These are made by Chocolate Pizza Company using the finest ingredients, and each pizza is crafted by hand. Not only are these unique chocolate pizzas delicious, the packaging is cute, as well. Each one comes in its own authentic pizza box, which makes a great presentation for your gift.

Each Chocolate Pizza begins with a special crust that includes either milk chocolate or dark chocolate blended with handmade English toffee. There are many toppings to consider, however, such as a pizza with a simple drizzle of white chocolate or perhaps a specialty pizza such as the Candy Avalanche Extreme. This signature offering is topped with a mountain of popular candies including Snickers, Twix, Milky Way and M&Ms. Other gourmet chocolate pizzas include toppings such as nuts, mini marshmallows and crispy chunks of graham cracker.

Another fun option is to consider pairing your Chocolate Pizza with another chocolate gift, such as Chocolate Pizza Company's chocolate cookies, which are Oreo cookies dipped in chocolate. There are also nut clusters, chocolate-covered pretzels, gourmet s'mores and much more. The company's other signature treat, Peanut Butter Wings, are an especially great item to pair with a Chocolate Pizza. These "wings" are a mix of potato chips and peanut butter that have been dipped into chocolate.

Of course, some people love to create their own handmade concoctions. While creating your own specialty chocolates or a chocolate pizza might be a bit daunting, there are some easy homemade options to consider. For instance ,you can fill a mason jar with homemade hot chocolate mix, top it with mini marshmallows and then cover the top with a pretty piece of fabric. Attach a tiny bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream with a ribbon or rustic bit of twine for a cute presentation. These can make great party favors or even cute holiday gifts for friends.

If you are searching for a fun birthday gift with a chocolate theme, think about compiling some cool retro candies and chocolates. For instance, if someone is celebrating their 60th birthday, fill up a basket with tasty items such as Abba-Zaba, Boston Baked Beans, 100 Grand bars, Fizzies and other notable treats that would have appeared in their childhood candy stores.
