    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    To be honest Scaredy just some Santa ones or anything remotely Christmassy with maybe Cadburys or Galaxy chocolate.

    Most of the character ones have totally ghastly chocolate in them I think.
