Is Chocolate the Reason for the Season?

Yes! And here's why. A lot of love goes into my gorgeous-looking and fabulous-tasting chocolate works of art. And when I see, face-to-face, the love that my customers put into the selection of their chocolate gifts, it is clear, that chocolate will be making many people merry. Chocolate will be the vehicle for expressing so many of love's facets: gratitude; friendship; generosity; affection; commitment; etc. So, now that we find ourselves deep into the season of the longest nights, I agree, it is the love that flows through the chocolates I make, to your hands, to the hands of the receiver, and finally flows through every delightful bite of chocolate, that is the reason for the season. Remember, chocolate is to food, what song is to speech, and what dance is to movement. It is greater than itself. It is a taste of something divine.
