WHAT ARE THESE?????
These are the chocolate gold coins I received in my CHRISTmas stocking each and every year since I was a child.
When I had children myself, I thought to continue this tradition, and so I did. Every year a netful of chocolate gold coins were placed into each of my childrens' stockings. They never said much about this, but I continued in MY tradition.
One year, I was in a tizzy!! I couldn't find them anywhere!! I looked and I looked at every store I went to that year!! Still couldn't find them. What was I going to do? CHRISTmas with no gold coins in the stockings? The tradition not continued? OH, NO!!
CHRISTmas morning came. As always, the kids headed to their stockings first--another tradition set in place from long ago!! They gleefully pulled out their chapsticks, their small little trinkets that changed as they grew older from small toys to nail polish, nail files and yes, my son still does receive a Matchbox car every year!!
But, no gold coins that year!! I apologized to them--telling them that I was so sorry, but I couldn't find any gold coins that year. All 3 of them looked from one to the other, and finally--delegating this to the oldest--the statement was said, "Well, we never really liked them anyway!"
WHAT?? All my searching for these and "they never really liked them"!!!
I got a good laugh out of this--my continuing MY tradition for them when they didn't consider it a tradition at all!!
You know what? I've found those gold coins every year since then. And each of them find a little netful of these every year in their stocking since.
Now, the tradition is when they find them--we all laugh!!
If you're still looking for that perfect gift for the person that has everything or is very hard to buy for--stop over here--I have the perfect gift for you to share!!
Have a wonderful day!!
