You know those wooden crates of tiny oranges sold this time of year. More like gems or candy than fruit, they keep the scurvy elves at bay, and award you with juicy sweetness after 3 seconds' worth of peeling effort.
Oranges and Christmas share a historical connection that today's global market economy can't wipe out. When fresh foods can be imported on demand, I find it refreshing to see seasonal fruit available here. We need to work on recycling those damn crates, though. Any ideas?

It takes you only 3 seconds to crack open one of those Morrocan delights? I remember when it was a big deal to get them around this time of year. They used to be the only orange I liked. But the magic has since been lost.
I'm eating those oranges right now!
(really--I'm typing, but chewing! TMI?)
Cheers :)
Your crate must be empty now, which means that you must be eating something else, which means more typing is necessary ;)
Some things you can do with your empty clementine crate:
1) kindling - mind the staples!
2) foot rest (while typing or eating, of course)
3) garbage bin - nice wide opening (good for aiming), small size encourages recycling
