Everything you see in this photo is entirely made of chocolate. It was incredible and made for some fun gifts.

Dear Pam, I missed your annual Merry Christmas greetings...
so it is good to see this one about your visit to Christmas markets, which Linda and I loved to sample when we lived in Germany and Belgium. However, Ron is missing so this probably explains the gap over the last coupld of years. You didn't post any details so I hope that you are doing well as we approach the new year. I wish you a blessed new year...and continue to travel with friends. Bob
