From The Past: December 19, 2006

Something I only buy at Christmastime is hard candy:

Normally I stick to gum or sugar free cough drops.

Another thing I only buy at Christmas is chocolate covered cherries. I bought two boxes back in late November and once those were gone, they were gone. I won’t buy any more.

Amazingly enough, we only bought one half gallon of Egg Nog this holiday season. What surprised me was the fact that we only drank half of it before it expired. Each time I thought about getting a glass, I would think, no, I’ll wait until later. Waiting until later, ended up equaling pouring it down the sink.

Kevin has purchased two containers of peppermint ice cream. He bought Egg Nog ice cream and wanted to buy another, but the store was out. One thing’s for sure, if you want those special holiday ice creams, you’d better buy them all at once. They sell out very quickly and then that’s it for the season.
