We are often asked “Why candy canes?”, or “Why only red and white?” for our Christmas display. For me, nothing says Christmas better than the candy cane. I find the crisp contrast between red and white at Christmas time to be beautiful and magical, uncluttered, simple, and comforting. But, beyond that, one of our primary reasons for the red/white theme is representative of our Christianity. The “legend” of the Candy Cane may not be valid in it’s origins, but it rang true in our hearts when we first came across it years ago.
Besides, the sweet, cool, refreshing tastiness of a good old fashioned peppermint stick is a wonderful treat all by itself, or when added to your favorite coffee, hot chocolate, or dessert. ♥️
Merry Christmas!!!
