DID YOU THINK THAT TODAY IS JUST CHRISTMAS EVE?
YOU COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG!
DECEMBER 24TH IS ALSO NATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY!
As if there isn't enough to celebrate on December 24th, 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." So as far as I'm concerned every day should be celebrated as Chocolate Day!

Have you ever wondered if you're a chocoholic? Back in 2013, BuzzFeed came out with an article that listed 19 signs you might be a chocoholic. Some of them included:
- 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!)
- You have your favorite chocolate-based sayings. (check!)
"I’d give up chocolate, but I’m no quitter."
