In the UK, Smarties have chocolate inside a coloured candy coating. Like M&Ms but nothing printed on.
They're milk chocolate and the orange coloured ones do taste faintly of orange. Years ago the blue ones were discontinued because the colour was banned. Recently returned with a safer colour. Small packs sold in a cardboard tube with a plastic lid. Don't know whether it still has letter of the alphabet on inside. The box of Lindt Lindor at the back of kitchen cupboard has now started talking to me.... |

There is a tiny winey bit of Ebenezer Scrooge in me at Christmas time and I don't really bother with gifts for myself. In the new year sales, I often do buy a few things. This January I will need new shoes or boots. Sooooo....

The orange Smarties are pretty good. Orange flavored milk chocolate stuff isn't common in the states. Usually its only orange and dark chocolate.

I bought myself an in-game pet. I had just enough in my battle.net account to pay for it. I'm so excited. It's a Legion Cat.

I found it on Amazon! I bought a set of 4. Gave one to my dad and one to my coworker and the rest two are ours. I didn’t want one with the clip. Thank you!

Well, now that I think about it, yes, yes I did buy a Christmas gift for myself. I bought a cabin far away from any family and don't need to excuse myself for not wanting to go see anyone. I guess that this is actually a gift that will keep on giving because I am too far away for any of them to visit me too. Ahh, the art of positive thinking.

@raging vortex - I'm so sorry you are struggling with Christmas. I was triggered on Christmas Day for some reason, so I wasn't online. But I'm barely catching up to reading all the back-posts. If I knew you in real life, I'd so get you the box set of voltron. I remember being poor and homeless around Christmastime in 2015, my final semester in college. I don't know how I managed to graduate with straight A's, but I did. I slept in the airport, crashed on couches, slept in the library, etc. I also showered in the gym. It was brutal, but I did it. I had no money for anything other than meals to get me by and school stuff. Thankfully, I'm doing much better today. I was in that place where everyone was going out and being with friends or loved ones, and I was homeless, poor, and alone. I truly didn't know how to deal with being around people when I felt so ashamed. I don't know what you're struggling with, but I can feel the pain in your words. Please know that we care here. (((safe hugs))) |

I wish we could have "watch parties" on these forums. It would be cool to watch voltron together on the forums, like having a movie night. |

I am pretty practical these days, so I bought an LED light for under the kitchen counter. It will brighten-up a dark corner, and that will make me happy.

voltron is about some people who defend space and go to war with aliens to protect the galaxy. think star wars, just without the droid things, the rather cool soundtrack and luke skywalker. lol |

They sound like Space Force, the new military branch, too. Though I doubt that they are battling extraterrestrials, unless they are keeping that hush-hush. Hee hee. Voltron sounds like it would be a cool video game, too! |
