Christmas Fruits

I have a friend who lives in Texas. We met in college and were very close until she moved away after getting married. Ever since she began living in Texas, her tastes have changed a lot and I find I have to get to know her all over again. She used to like getting crystal ornaments and other delicate things but not any more. I guess some of her husband’s attitude has rubbed off on her. The biggest problem is getting Christmas gifts for her since I don’t know what she likes anymore. We call each other a week after Christmas and discuss our Christmas Gifts, our favorites and the misses.

She never brings up mine. It really began getting to me so I thought I would either buy her the perfect Christmas gift or start sending her gift certificates. I tried to find something that was really popular in Texas. I couldn’t afford most of the stuff and the stuff that I could afford didn’t seem to make an appropriate Christmas gift. I decided I’d end up sending her a gift certificate after all. The thought was depressing and I decided to cheer myself up with a box of chocolate strawberries. They had been an early gift from my sister. She knew how much I loved them.

The Strawberries got me thinking. I had sent this chocolate fruit to almost all kinds of people and they had loved it. It even came in fruit bouquets that were very appealing Christmas Fruit baskets. I decided to take a chance and ordered a big chocolate fruit bouquet for my friend. I scheduled the delivery so that it would arrive early for Christmas. The very next day after the delivery was made my friend called me up. She was raving about my Christmas gift and wanted to know where I had ordered it from. After teasing her for a while, I finally told her where she too could buy the delicious Christmas fruit.
