Quick Stop

If you ever needed a good excuse to eat chocolate, you're in luck:

So you missed National Bittersweet Chocolate Day (Jan. 10) and National Chocolate Souffle Day (Feb. 28) and National Covered Raisin Day (March 24) and National Chocolate Milkshake Day (Sept. 12) and who knows how many more such chocolate-flavored holidays! Stop right now!

That's right: Take a moment (or an hour) this October 28 to celebrate National Chocolate Day.

Mark your calendars accordingly... and don't say I never did anything for you. If you don't do it for yourselves, do it in honor of the Princess Mom, for whom this was a personal holiday.
