Thinking of gifts for Christmas?

Are you "♫making your list and checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice. St. Clause is coming to town♫" (haha! its truly Christmas time again, got caught up by the song )... Are you making your list and checking it twice of who to buy gifts for? Here’s an idea that can help you. Giving chocolate makes gift selection easy because remember “Everyone loves chocolate.” This particularly makes chocolate-related items ideal for corporate gifts to employees or customers or for fellow employees. There are lots of choices to choose from! Like...
Dark Chocolate (my favorite)
White Chocolate (you may think im racist, well, im not)
Milk Chocolate
Chocolate coated Nuts (i would like to recommend M&M's)
Chocolate with fruits and nuts

Etc.

who said you should stop there?

Bake a cake!
Chocolate mousse (spell check! :)) )
Black forest
plain old Chocolate cake!
Brownies (they work too)

or do something creative and unexpected, something unique !
chocolate Pie! :)

Happy holidays. have a Blessed Christmas everyone!

where'd they get "chocolate"?

Did you know that before chocolate came into the English language from Spanish, Hernan Cortes discovered a potent Aztec beverage made with cacahuaquchtl powder (origin of the word “cocoa”), chili, musk, and honey. In a 1519 expedition to the New World, Cortes received a friendly reception from the Aztecs of Tenochtitlan (present-day Mexico City), who offered him the beverage tchocoatl (i think its the first hot choco). In the Nahuatl language of the Aztects, tchocoatl is derived from two words that mean “bitter water”: xocolli and atl.


maybe that's where they got "chocolate" ? Or...

A linguistic thread in the story of chocolate links the Nahuatl word chicol-li, (a beating stick used in cooking, with the preparation of a frothy chocolate beverage). The original name of this drink may have been chicolatl, meaning “beaten drink".


what do you think??
