Christmas Candies

When you think of Christmas candies, what is the first kind of candy that comes to mind? I know that candy canes are a big tradition at Christmas, but I don’t really like that much peppermint to buy a whole box of candy canes.

When I think of Christmas candies, my first though is the big yellow box of Whitman’s chocolates. Its called the Whitman’s Sampler. There is just one of every different kind of chocolate candy in the box. You have to look at the little guide printed on the top of the box to know what is in each candy, or you can live on the wild side and just pick one at random.

Christmas Countdown

Here it is, almost Christmas. Have you got all your shopping done? The weather is bad – they are calling for snow again tonight and we already have the ground covered with the white stuff. The snow is going to mess up a lot of people’s plans for last minute shopping and for travel to go home and spend the holidays with relatives.

Be safe out there, my friends, and have a nice Christmas.

To soon

It is way to early for stores and people to be putting up their Christmas lights, let us get through Thanksgiving anyway. Some stores had their Christmas stuff up and in the store before Halloween was over. I am a firm believer that no one should be forced to endure Christmas music or lights before December 1, and that is the earliest that it should be allowed by law and a stiff fine say $50 per song and $10 per light that hits the world before December 1. I am sorry for those who do not agree but this is a free world and they are entitled to their opinion just as I am.
