1/4: buying

...chocolate covered cherries as an impulse purchase while looking at the selection of 50% off Christmas candy at the grocery store.  When I was little, my siblings and I each had a particular candy that we would get each year as part of our Christmas gifts:  my sister's was a Whitman's Sampler, my brother's was chocolate cars, and mine was chocolate covered cherries.  We didn't choose these initially; my parents chose for us, and then they just stuck.  (I have to admit that I sometimes wished I had been the one who had been "assigned" the Whitman's Sampler!  Though that was a little silly, given that we all shared all of the candies.)  Today it seemed disloyal to see the chocolate covered cherries on the shelf and not put a box in my cart.
