Curl up with a great little book and a delicious treat, just in time for Christmas!

Imagine you had been kept in a POW camp for months, cold, wet, dirty, and starving.  One day, there’s good news and bad news.  The good news is, the Red Cross has delivered Christmas packages for the POWs! 

 The bad news is, there are only a few packages to give among hundreds of men.

It is determined a drawing will be held.  Now, imagine it is your lucky day– you are one of the winners!  When you open your package, among other things you find evaporated milk, sugar, and a chocolate bar.  Chocolate!  It’s been months since you’ve seen chocolate, and you are nearly intoxicated by the thought of it.  

All the other POWS from your building crowd around you as you open your package.  They smile wistfully as they see your goodies.  It’s hard to disguise the longing in their eyes, wishing they had been the lucky ones to win.  

You realize that these are the perfect ingredients to make some Christmas fudge.  But here’s the question: do you wordlessly devour your goodies, or is there something more, something better you could do?
