I have arrived! I have finally arrived!! Every Christmas in my family the ‘adults’ (I use this term loosely) in my family get the 1lb box of ‘See’s Candy’. Now since I’m in my twenties, I have been getting the 1 lb box for a few years now, but it wasn’t until now, that I got the 1lb box filled with the truffles.

I may have die and go to heaven because my life has reached it’s pinnacle. See’s Truffles are really really good! They are so good in fact that one year during our infamous ‘Jarvis Family Gift Exchange’ my Uncle Bob received such a box. Thinking he had outsmarted us all by threatening our lives, should the idea to steal ’said’ box of truffles away from him occur to any of us. After the last gift was claimed he opened the little See’s box and saw to his dismay that my extremely clever Aunt had changed out the truffles in another container and put little individual wrapped Snickers Bars in it’s place… Up until this moment I had never seen my Brooding Uncle cry, this was disturbing and I hope to never see it again! My dad turned out to be the lucky recipient of the See’s Truffles and I believe my Uncle is still in therapy after that occurance. (It’s a story that doesn’t get brought up a lot for my Uncles sake…It could have been worse, he could have ended up with the Electric Blue stripper thong (don’t ask)).

Needless to say I am happily tucked away in Texas where nobody in my family can try and con me out of my See’s Candy. I was talking to my Uncle Bob via Webcam and almost pulled out my See’s Truffles just to taunt him, but I decided to be a good niece and refrain.
