Now that I have your attention, it is time for a sleigh full of sweets. No, I’m not talking oranges, pears or pomegranates. Oh yes, I know Harry and David love December and they are so grateful for the many companies that keep them the number-one fruit mail-order company in the United States. They make holiday gift giving for many effortless as online holiday orders for coworkers, clients and friends are filled and delivered before Dec. 25 in perfectly ripe, unblemished and unbruised condition. However, upon consulting with several of my readers, although they know they should eat more organic whole fruits, they say Christmas is a time to splurge and go for the buttery, chocolate, caramel and sugar-laden desserts and snacks.
