I’ve been getting boxes of 50 cocoa packages for 6.00. This week they are on sale for 5.00. I’ll pick up a box of 50 and put 37 in with 24 candy canes. I will keep the rest of the cocoa for personal use and I will use the other 24 candy canes for Marissa’s class for Christmas.

When I get this box mailed on Thursday, that will be it until January. I will start watching the sales to see what I can pick up for later.

You are a wonder! I let them know that you will be mailing an additional 10th packages and to expect it around, perhaps just after, Christmas.

My mother had a theory (a rationalization for her tardy ways) that late mailed packages made it because they passed over the piles of stacked up boxes already mailed.

I’m going to send one more package tomorrow to FOB Joyce with the extra cocoa, but found that I had picked up a couple sugar free boxes instead of the regular cocoa yesterday at the local supermarket. That wouldn’t have been a problem except for some insane reason there are only 8 envelops in a box, and so I’m 4 short...

Your dedication is all that kept me from breaking down and gnashing my teeth and wailing...

LOL!

Happy Holidays, what? :-)

Grumble, grumble.
