I can't have a Christmas tree without Candy Canes. Just not Christmas without the Candy Canes on the tree. The Grandkids eat them after Christmas if I can keep them out of the tree before that.

Yes Candy Canes are a must!

I LOVE CANDY! Just not peppermint, or candy canes. They're messy, they splinter easily, several canes in a box are already broken. Some of them are shrink wrapped so tight, you can't get all the plastic off.

I just don't lke them...

Nothing... unless there is some Southern Baptist Christian denomination that thinks candy canes are evil... which wouldn't suprise me...

Personally I wouldn't.. I don't like candy canes for the same reasons captainassassin gave... plus they will probably attract ants.

She does like candy canes on christmas trees. I, on the other hand, do not. I had actually never heard of it efore this year, but I don't care. I agree, candy canes are yummy, but they are food? would you hand... lets say... celery on the christmas tree? I don't think so.

Oh, and candy canes are apparently religious because a myth has gone around that a candymaker in Indiana wanted to signify the birth, ministry and death of Jesus Christ with a candy... well, as I said, being a myth, it is not true.

When I worked in a Christian preschool, they talked about a candymaker who made an upside down "J" for Jesus, and used red to signify blood for the unity of mankind. Not sure if I personally believe it, but anywho...

Candy canes weren't put on the tree in my house when I grew up. My mum would put them in these long parfait glasses around the house. I used to like sucking a candy cane into a sharp point, and poking people with it... violent child I was...
