I got plenty of boxed chocolates, too. From Thornton's and Lindt to Quality Street and Celebrations...
My family and friends all KNOW that I need to avoid sugar so there is really no excuse apart from laziness LOL. To many people Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries etc = chocolates. To us they represent unwelcome temptation and horribly poor nutrition!
Perhaps we should just take the view that it's the thought that counts... LOL.
