Tradition #6 is all about tradition and happy memories. Tastes and smells can conjor up a lot of memories both good and bad. See's Candies is definatly a happy memory for me.For those of you that don't know about See's Candies they started in 1921 in San Francisco and have stores thoughout the West. Growing up near San Fran this was the best chocolate around. My Dad would bring it home for special holidays like Valentines Day Easter and Mothers Day. Oh how we would search the house for Mom's chocolates so we could eat them. My Dad finaly figured out that if my Mom was going to get any for herself he would have to bring us a box and her a box. At Christmas time there was always See's Candies to be eaten and I don't remember ever having any other kind of boxed Chocolates. My brothers and I would go over to the Collage bookstore with our change and buy candy bars but that doesn't count as "good chocolate."
There are a lot of different chocolates out there that I'm sure are richer, creamier, and more expensive. I however love See's Chocolates and am going to hide the box I just got in the mail yesterday and see how long I can make it last!!! (Thanks P. Sherman!)
