A long time ago, when I had more ambition to create better blog content, I devised a feature called \u201cThe 24 Days of Materialism\u201d as a sort of Advent calendar stand-in. It was simply a collection of 24 things -one write-up posted each day from Dec 1st to 24th- that I found interesting, and would recommend as possible gift ideas. It was not the dumbest thing I\u2019ve ever come up with.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that feature was shut down promptly when I moved out of my parents\u2019 house and no longer had seemingly infinite disposable income. Also it was a heck of a lot of work and I really just haven\u2019t been <\/span>that<\/span><\/i> interested in blogging over the last few holiday seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m writing this post because I felt a longing for this silly, forgotten feature, and wanted to find a way to bring it back without breaking the bank. I don\u2019t buy too much random stuff these days, clothes are boring, and I wanted to exclude video games completely, so what was left?<\/span><\/p>\n

Food.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course! I\u2019m always buying food! And there are so many options! It\u2019s the perfect subject! Exclamation points! And even better if I pick from mostly holiday-themed food, I figure. So we\u2019ll see what kind of things I can find on my weekly grocery trips.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, we\u2019re going to start on a bit of a cop-out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Candy Cane Viva Puffs!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yeah, I\u2019ve written about these at length already. You should go read that article<\/a>. It\u2019s pretty okay! Remember when I used to try to be funny and creative? Yeah, I miss those days. Although after a re-read, I\u2019ve certainly picked out a few off-colour jokes that I\u2019d never<\/em>\u00a0write today and should <\/span>probably<\/span><\/i> go back and remove.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, Candy Cane Viva Puffs are <\/span>super<\/span><\/i>. They\u2019ve become a mainstay of the season for me, and no December is complete without a weekend where I down an entire box of these fluffy treats. It\u2019s not a difficult task either, because there are only fifteen in a box and they have exactly zero substance to them. You could probably eat a whole box in a single sitting and not notice. At least until an hour later and you go into a sugar coma.<\/span><\/p>\n
