It’s been a tough few days — more of which another time — but BabylessCanuck and LittleMissICSI and I were a-chattin’ on Twitter and hatched a plan: to send people in the IF community a chocolate hug this Christmas / Kwanzaa / belated Hanukkah / New Year.
Isn’t that a scrumptious idea?
If you’d like to take part, here are the rules.
TEN ROOLZ
- I, as your organiser, will collect names of participants and match people with each other because that’s good form.
- I’m’a do this via the GOOD FORM below.
- Please fill out the form by Thursday December 12th — that’s 12/12!
- This is so that I have time to wave my edible choco-wand and make choco-pals out of you all…
- …. and that you have time to buy chocolate and get to the post office ahead of the Xmas rush.
- If you’re happy to ship internationally, please make sure you write GIFT on the packaging so your choco-pal doesn’t have to pay any taxes and duty.
- Anyone can participate, whether or not you have a blog or Twitter account.
- If you’re pregnant, it’s okay to participate. If you’re not pregnant and don’t want to be matched with someone who is, let me know when you submit the form. No judgment!
- It should go without saying, but please don’t share your choco-pal’s identity or address with anyone. That would be seriously uncool.
- Please spread the word!

What a fun idea! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to participate, as my pneumonia has relapsed, and I’ll be a sick as a dog for the next 10 days or so. Sigh…. have fun, everyone! I’m in for next year!
Lauren says
All the more reason for you to have a care package, Catwoman! I will email you…

Love this idea! Who doesn’t feel a bit better with a package in the mail containing chocolate? I’m in! And I’ll be able to contribute some funky chocolate from Austria/Germany, where we’re headed for the holidays :) Thanks for organizing Lauren!
