seeker · 05/12/2008 19:54

Of course!

electra · 05/12/2008 19:55

bigTillyMint · 05/12/2008 19:55

Of course

Why are you asking? Satsuma's only allowed?

TheVirginGoober · 05/12/2008 19:56

Yes.
Far more grown up this year, they are each having a proper box of chocolates this year.

OneBoyOneGirlWithBellsOn · 05/12/2008 19:56

yes usually one of those tubes with pastilles in or something.

janeite · 05/12/2008 19:56

Yep. They get chocolate coins and a chocolate orange. They also get a tangerine and a bag of dried fruit too! And coco pops, as they are not allowed them for the rest of the year.

LaDiDaDi · 05/12/2008 19:56

Chocolate coins.

PerkinWarbeck · 05/12/2008 19:57

oh yes. I am normally quite anal about limiting DD's sugary treats (am with Libby P on the chocolate calendars ). but surely chocolate for breakfast is a wholesome christmas tradition?

dizzyjingles · 05/12/2008 19:59

yes
thorntons chocolate coins and a tube of buttons

RhinestoneCowgirl · 05/12/2008 20:00

Yep, DS doesn't get choc that often, but will have a bag of coins in his stocking (he is 2.4 yrs). Last year he spent ages hopefully picking at normal coins saying 'choklit?'

SmallShips · 05/12/2008 20:00

Yes only DS though, tube of White chocolate buttons.

SantasNuttySTaff · 05/12/2008 20:03

No. Only carob and granola. Obviously.

BreevandercampLGJ · 05/12/2008 22:10

In this house Father Christmas goes to Waitrose, he then has to make a concious decision not to shop there accomanpied, once the purchases have been made.

He gets the most wonderful stuff, that you don't see anywhere else.

Well done. FC.

ChippyMyrrhton · 05/12/2008 22:13

Yes. I got some gorgeous sequinned sweetie boxes in Waitrose one year. They get re-filled and hung on the tree. Angels and FC.
