A Gift of Chocolates

Every Christmas I make chocolates for a neighbour friend
It brightens her day to eat chocolates  I made
So when the Christmas season is near
I make her a gift of chocolates
Then the day after Christmas 
My neighbour friend
Comes to me
Bringing me
Chocolates

I so remember the "old" days when people made things like candy and cookies, etc. at Christmas. Your neighbor is very lucky to have you as a friend.

Hello Mike Gentile, Yes chocolates are a lovely gift for anyone. The trouble is making the chocolate last longer. It never does. Oh thank you, for the lovely complement. It made my day brighter on this dull day with no sunshine. Happy Saturday. xx-oo /Darlene/
