weet memories
Traditions are what make the holidays so wonderful.
The songs, the food, the greetings and gifts, and best
of all, time spent with family and friends.
But, what is the sweetest tradition in this sea-
son?
Candy, of course – the giving, the getting, the
eating. Candy is one “sweee-eet” tradition
that, if we think back, most of us at one time
or another have reveled in.
Children, we all know, love candy. If you
dared ask them, most children would swear
they could live on candy. And apparently they
are correct. Don’t the ubiquitous “they” say
that of all the food groups you could choose
from, you could survive on a chocolate bar?
Who doesn’t have a winter holiday memory
with candy in it? Candy canes or dishes of
sweetened nuts can be found in nearly every
home.
If you are over age 40, maybe you remember
the days when you received a mixed package at
school, or after an event, with hard candies, nuts
in the shell, oranges, apples, a box of Cracker
Jacks with a prize, and always a peppermint
candy stick or cane.
