This is my entry for the January Free Write contest, held by @contests, and it is also my first contest entry ever, woohoo!

The shop on the cover is La Mère de famille: the paradise for any chocolate or candy lover!

My mother works here every Christmas and Easter seasons since now 15 years ago, which means that twice a year I gorge myself on salted-butter caramels, candied chestnuts and chocolate-covered cherries...

Life is hard, right?
