November and December. / myLot

Every year between November and December. There are certain items that I buy. First there are soft gingerbread cookies. You can only find them in November and December and they taste so good. We bought one pack and they are already gone. Did I tell you they are so good. And this will sound strange to say. But I have to have chocolate shaped like Santa and bells. I know it is the same chocolate but they taste so much better shaped like Holiday figures. They had snowman and Santa at the store today. I will be buying two of each of them. They just taste so much better. Last but still just as good is the peppermint candy cane I have to buy the tiny one every year and of course a box of the bigger ones. Oh how I just love those candy canes. Not any of the weird flavors that they have added but just the peppermint ones. I am sure there are other items that you buy only during November and December. I used to get my kids the life saver box. Christmas stuff animals

I used to get those Life Saver boxes as a kid. This is the only time of year to get peppermint bark.

The season of giving is also the season of commercialism.

Yes greed is the name of the game. The stores want to make as much as they can.

Everyone thinks about the presents of Chirstmas but you go from Halloween, candy, to Thankgiving, food, Christmas, Presents, candy and food. I hope its not all about what you get. .

Good post miss lady, family always looks out for family.

My mom loved the Life Saver box. She always asked for that for Christmas as a kid, so as an adult, every single year I’d buy her that storybook of Lifesavers.

I don't really do sweets very much but in December Costco sells this awesome Panettone which I will treat myself to every Christmas

Those candy canes bring back lots of memories. I agree that sometimes chocolate shapes do seem to taste better.
