Well, another Christmas is behind us and that can only mean one thing - sales! It's time to start looking for the post-holiday bargains and I plan to do just that. I have more candy than I need already, but have a hard time ignoring chocolate at a steep discount. Not that I plan to buy much - I never really do - I just like to find a little bargain item here or there. It's fun. So far I've been to one place with no prices marked down, just a sign that select Christmas items were 50% off. They only had one thing I would have bought and their normal price for it was too high so I gave it a pass for now. In another couple of days when it's 75% off I might go back, though.

But sales aren't the only thing the passing of Christmas means, at least around here. I've been caught up in my holiday prep for the past couple of weeks and, as such, have been distracted from posting as much as I'd like. But I have a number of topics I need to touch on that came up as far back as the week before I went to New York (early November!). A few things to expect over the next couple of weeks:

• A little more holiday chocolate talk
  
• Betsy Ann Chocolates
  
• Sugardaddy's Sweeties
  
• Patric Chocolate's Madagascar bar
  
• Amano's limited edition Cuyagua bar
  
• Lindt's Intense Orange bar
  
• Charles Chocolate's Tea Collection
  
• Jones Soda Christmas Cocoa

Hope all of you had (or a still having) a good holiday!
