My mom makes THE best fudge!....
Every year, as far back as I can remember, I would buy my Daddy a box of chocolate covered cherries for Christmas (Momma bought 'em when I was little, but they were "from" me). He'd open them, then I'd sit in his lap and we'd eat the whole box. No one else in the family likes them. I still buy him a box every year and we eat them together.

Thanks, RA for the borrowed image!
This at my grandma's house every year. I miss that ...
This reminded me of my grandpa. Same deal. He and I were the only ones. Now I get a box from my kids and I'm still the only one who eats them! Works out great!
but since I've been old enough to do so these are part of his gift.....
Your gonna make me get all emotional now. shhhh.Multitalentman...you mentioned your grampie...and it reminded me...
i have these...
...waiting to be delivered to mine....he's 92...and I haven't seen him in a year
*this thread topic may make me cry*
I love the tiny traditions....the orange in the toe of my sock....my dad making terrible gravy every year and no one saying anything...isn't that funny? we tend to think of traditions as event oriented - but those little things that we pass on to our children get missed. I still think of my parents every time I put a little whipped cream castle on the hot chocolate and sprinkle it with gold sugar.. because it's a tiny little tradition.
*I will not cry*...so sweet...My Dad always got a big tin of Almond Roca every Christmas. We would each put one in our mouths and go "mmmm mmmmm mmmm". What a sweet memory.
Haha...i like the 'beaded' ones...Huge sweeties! Hurrah!
Dibs on the coconut ones!
ETA: nevermind..... lol
Oops ♡ somedays it just has to happenYour gonna make me get all emotional now. shhhh.

You are both Welcome for the memory. For me, the cherry cordials were for my Nana. Every year she got a couple boxes. I never really cared for them, but God! She loved them. The Fudge was for my father. We'd make it together and eat it before it set up. Hard candies were made by my Nana. My Holidays have never been the same since they passed away.
You can always throw it back up later anyway... if we're being honest. I have done that... not habitually
Interesting reference to the sirens call.

It depends on what kind of temptation we're talking about in my mind. If you get caught eating chocolate, is it really THAT bad? Who's to say you shouldn't be eating it? I suppose indulging at 3 a.m. is unconventional, but really? My devil-may-care attitude says, screw it. I'll eat whatever I want, whenever I want.
I suspect we're not talking about that here.
If we're talking about the Lit variety, I will indulge when I have the inclination and the time. The restriction for me is time wise really. Scheduling can be quite a chore for me these days. *grin* As far as remorse goes, the only remorse I have is having to play calendar roulette because I've indulged WAY too much.
The pursuit of pleasure is a noble one, especially if it is your own.
Shhhhh! Don't tell everyone! There are too many guys around here as it is!Well, ya see.. There's this *thing" most females experience that modern medicine calls "Estrous"..
Its a fairly elusive window of time that if the right male of our species is lucky enough to spot..he gets rewarded
And if said male knows what he's doing.. He gets repeatedly rewarded.
How about room and board?
