Some people grow up and spread cheer. Chocoholics just grow up and spread.

My sister bought me quite a selection of things for Christmas including a book (which the quote is from), a photo album and a hair dryer. However, by far the most interesting was a joint present for Marty and myself. Christine and her children had been to stay with us on a number of occasions during the year and Christine thought it would be amusing to get us a few things that she thought would come in useful. She bought us a metal colander within which she put a duster, a dish cloth, a few lightbulbs, a sugar bowl, a candle, drinking chocolate, after eight mints, and a Christmas pudding. No-one has ever bought me a duster as a present and I’m not convinced that anyone other than my sister would dare.
