So my favorite holiday memory kind of goes hand-in-hand with my birthday (December 17).
About eight years ago, my mom found these chocolate mushrooms at some chocolate shop and decided to get them for me for my birthday. They're really not for popping them in your mouth when you feel like eating chocolate--kind of like baking chocolate-- they're for decoration for these French holiday cakes called a Buche de Noel. (Thanks for judging, by the way!) But anyway, in my household we kind of eat chocolate like regular food, so it's not like we cared; it gets eaten really quickly all the same.
SO ANYWAY, there are eight of these tiny chocolate mushrooms in one box, and there are eight days between my birthday and Christmas, so it turned into this tradition to eat one mushroom a day until Christmas. And this has been a tradition forever.
Kinda strange. But they're yummy.
that is adorable!
