Happy Tuesday Speakies:
December 13th is here and the time keeps on flying by. I hope all your shopping and holiday preparations are coming along on schedule or near schedule. Everyone is busy during the holiday season making preparations for dinners, shopping and awaiting that favorite part of the holidays the arrival of relatives. Therefore on a sweeter note let’s talk candy. Yes Christmas candy those little treats that are laid out every year and never disappear until they melt or stick together and are ready for the trash. I’m going to name some of the candies I remember as a child and even today, send me yours, don’t be shy.
Candy Canes – Those striped peppermint favored suckers you get every year from somebody. Sorry Joey Z was never a fan of candy canes. I’d smashed them in little pieces and ate some if I had indigestion only.
BOXES OF CHOCOLATES – I had my favorite pickings when I was young. First all the nut ones, second came the cherry filled, next the solid chocolate, leave the caramels to the rest of the folks. I even snuck them out of the second layer when I could get away with it.
HARD TACKS – Now come on you remember those, often they came in a fancy glass container with a lid. Some were square, some long, bright colors and stripes, some had fillings other were just solid. Your mother placed them gently on the coffee table in the living room and hoped the guests who visited would have some, maybe take some home, she might have even slipped the little ones who came some in their pockets of course in a little bag so their mommies and daddies never knew. You know those candies and they do bring back memories.
MODERN CHRISTMAS CANDY – Roe and I love Cello Chocolate covered cherries, but we are putting an end to them this year. Have to watch the sugar intake and besides I found 4 still in a glass bowl in the refrigerator. Now a days we have Christmas M&M’s, Hershey’s Kisses, mints wrapped up in Christmas decor and other assorted sweets. Go ahead and treat yourself buy some Christmas candies and recall your childhood days. For now have a great day and be careful out there.

Christmas Candy Canes from 1870s
Chicago candy company Bunte Brothers
(who later had an employee named Brach who started his own company which is still around:)
I like peppermint but never a fan of candy canes. Now those chocolate covered cherries are good.
