A couple of weeks ago I promised I would soon post on certain items that were in my mind, but now that the Christmas portion of the holidays have passed it no longer seems appropriate (or interesting) to write about any of those things. I confess that I was in magazine mode at the time I wrote that "Coming Soon" headline.
Instead I'll share a funny little tidbit concerning how we (Michael and I) celebrate Christmas with our respective families. It all has to do with the two boxes of Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Covered Cherries waiting to be consumed on top of my microwave oven.
Michael's parents give him a box of chocolate covered cherries every year for Christmas because Michael loves them. My parents give me a box of chocolate covered cherries every year for Christmas because I hate them. It's one of our family jokes, like calling my brother David "What'sisname" all the time, or always singing Happy Birthday as out of tune and screechily as possible. These family traditions evolved independently, before Michael and I were even married.
There is, of course, a story to go with my chocolate covered cherries, which I may choose to share later.

The thought of the 2 boxes of CCC is very amusing. I'd like to hear the story of why you don't like them. BTW, from all indications, you come from a way cool family, a great place to belong.
Talk about a teaser! Oh my! If "Always Keep 'Em Wanting More" is your blog motto, you are succeeding with this post.
I think you have stumbled upon the Secret Formula for Torturing Jim.

Thanks for putting that info out for everyone, to see, Jim! If word of this gets around, you will have no end of ribbing in SG from various sources. I will admit to some curiosity about how Kelly could not like CCC (I know some of the cheap kinds can be too syrupy-sweet, but good ones--gosh! What's not to like?). Curious, however, not tortured.
