I made two mistakes when I chose my snack preferences: I only like snacks made of chocolate, and I live in the desert, where it is effectively summer at this point. It's been hitting triple digits.

My Santa, then, was filled with some misgivings, but did not let that stop them from filling a box with delicious chocolate products that were everything I could've hoped for. I'd been pretty clear in my likes/dislikes (likes: chocolate. dislikes: things that aren't chocolate. I'm paraphrasing here, I said a bit more.) But Santa and I hoped for the best.

So what happened to my mistakes? Well, apparently Santa's weather elves were looking out for me, because it has been freezing out this week. Literally, it's been in the 50's, I thought I'd die. Santa left me a note that it the high where they are is only 26, but I assume that is in Celsius because otherwise they would be dead.

But the upshot? Rather than FOUR POUNDS of delectable chocolate puddle, I have received FOUR POUNDS of solid chocolate omg, as Santa and the Santa angels intended. (Is this how Santa works? Dunno, I'm Jewish)

Oh man, I've been salivating since Santa sent me a lovely note a week or two ago, and it's everything I could've imagined. I started laughing as I was taking it out of the box, because there was just more and more! I could barely arrange it all in one photo!

Check out the photos for the full story and complete haul, but oh man. Did you know Milky Ways come in French Vanilla and Caramel? Did you know chocolate oranges (which I mentioned is one of my favorites) come in some kind of small bar form? Did you know they make Mint Cookie and Cream Malt Balls? Because I didn't! But I'm so glad I know now!

Me IRL

As I speak, it's still arranged on the counter as in the last picture, and I keep stopping every few seconds to gaze at it. Oh man, what will I have tonight???
