Christmas Candy Cane

 

C is for Candy Cane

“Legend has it that the candy cane dates back to 1670, when the choirmaster at the Cologne Cathedral in Germany handed out sugar sticks among his young singers to keep them quiet during the Living Creche ceremony,” “In honor of the occasion, he bent the candies into shepherds' crooks.”





Can you believe it's 83 days until Christmas! Have you started your cards yet?
