For me it is the official Christmas Season.  There are a few things about Christmas that I look forward to.  I am somewhat of a Bah-Humbug because Christmas has become too commercial.  I usually do not get excited about Christmas other than for a few things.  A few of my favorite things for Christmas is giving gifts to my family, Christmas Eve service and peppermint bark.  Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark.

Yesterday, Josh and I went to Staples Office Supply and on a Christmas display there was the Peppermint Bark.  I love Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark.  It is beautiful chocolaty goodness, with a layer of white chocolate with peppermint crunch.  I love chocolate and I love peppermint.  It is purely divine when you mix the two.  The problem with Ghirardelli’s Peppermint Bark is that it is only available at Christmas time.  So once it is out in stores, it is the official opening of Christmas.

This morning, while I was slaving 🙂 at the office, Sonya, Josh and Hannah stopped by with a surprise.  Two bags of Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark.  It was a beautiful sight to see them surprise me with this.  I didn’t even mention it last night, but Josh told Sonya where they had my favorite Christmas Candy and they came by and surprised me.  What a family!
