It's Not Just Christmas Eve Today... It's Also National Chocolate Day!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

Chocolate lovers! Did you think that today was just Christmas Eve? You couldn't be more wrong! It's also National Chocolate Day! I'm still trying to figure out who decided December 24th would be a great day to celebrate chocolate. Although, there are some who celebrate National Chocolate Day on December 28th  (sometimes referred to as International Chocolate Day) and others on October 28th. I totally admit to being a card-carrying "chocoholic," I believe every day should be celebrated as Chocolate Day!

 

Have you ever wondered if you're a chocohlic? There are actually  19 signs that you are a chocoholicSome of these include:

  • Having your favorite overseas chocolate (check!)
  • You cling to studies that prove chocolate is good for you. (check!)
  • Chocolate is an incentive and a reward. (check!)
  • You don't let chocolate stand in the way of dietary restrictions. (check!)

 

Check out all 19 signs that you are chocoholic on BuzzFeed.com's site.

 

For those of you who are not yet confirmed, card-carrying chocoholics like myself and need a good reason to be one:

 

Think of chocolate as a salad

 

 

So go out today, indulge in and enjoy some chocolate (oops, salad) on National Chocolate Day!

I don't need an excuse to eat chocolate Nina, but it's good to know that two days in December are especially for eating chocolate!

Sybil Campbell ~ good morning, Sybil... I think I don't need a special day for chocolate in my house either! And I believe if you do some research, there are probably at least two days each month devoted to something chocolate.
