The usual gift for kids for Hanukkah are chocolate coins wrapped in 'gold'--see below for the story--but Santa's elves (their names are Chuck & Terry) in Memphis did better than that by stopping here at Gateway in Fort Lauderdale and, via UPS, sent me a package of various chocolates, mainly dark chocolate which, as we all know, is healthy for you!
They are in various forms from a tree to bells not to forget a Santa lollipop! My favorite is the 3rd one in the picture --a dark chocolate pig!!
Oh yes, coming from Memphis how can there not be TWO Elvis bars--one milk chocolate and the other dark chocolate!
The elves think I am going to blame them for any weight gain I have in December but I know all these chocolate treats are non-caloric!!
A bonus was the wrappings in the package which was "The Best of Memphis--2020" from the newspaper. Granted it has been 41 years since I lived in Memphis BUT I didn't know a single place except for the Memphis Zoo!!
Now I can't wait to see what Santa is bringing me--guess it pays to be a good boy!! Truthfully the epidemic has more to do with that than my not being able to misbehave!
