If you need a holiday to eat chocolate, you need to reorder your priorities.

On a mailing list I met a wonderful lady from Switzerland who has since died. She owned a chocolate company and would occasionally send me a “fix.” It was the real thing, none of that commercial, chemical stuff.

Actually, it was your holiday, Jams, that got highjacked. That is, indeed, the correct term for all of these “occasions” that seemed to be designed to sell cards, flowers, and candy by manufactured guilt.

Hmm it may be a “Hallmark holiday” (is that the right expression?) but it was a case of no chocolate, no prospect of living!

Karen beat me to it. You may be the Valentine’s Day equivalent of Scrooge if you will, but any day on which chocolate is the rule is a good day. Fake? Chocolate is as real as it gets!

Ah Yes… a Commercial Faux Holiday in the name of that “Saint Somebody or other” – but the world can NEVER have too much Chocolate!

Whenever I hear “Roses are red,” etc., I am reminded of:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Some poems rhyme;
This one don’t.
