Christmas Candy Canes
Get in the Christmas spirit with everyone's favorite holiday candy: candy canes! These striped treats have become a beloved symbol of the season, ranking as the most loved Christmas candy in many states across the U.S. And it's not just their sweet peppermint flavor that makes them special.
While enjoying a candy cane, you may not realize that it holds deeper Christian meanings for some. The iconic 'J' shape can symbolize Jesus, and the white color represents his purity. The red stripes on the cane are a reminder of the blood he shed when he died on the cross. Even the peppermint flavor has biblical connotations, representing the hyssop plant used for purifying in the Bible.
It's interesting to note that these Christian meanings were added to candy canes after they had already gained popularity. So next time you unwrap a candy cane, take a moment to appreciate the history and symbolism behind this beloved holiday treat.

The Gingerbread Chalet from Whole Foods is a great choice for this. You can adorn your house with a variety of colorful candies. Just remember to exercise caution when shopping with kids, as you may be tempted to buy more candy than necessary. To ensure everything stays in place, use icing to securely attach the candies to the gingerbread house.
Christmas Decorations & Gifts
Transform your home into a holiday wonderland with some simple but stunning touches. Fill every room, no matter the size, with twinkling string lights, colorful ornaments, and lush greenery like garlands, wreaths, mistletoe and Christmas trees.
Did you know that the tradition of hanging mistletoe goes back centuries? According to ancient Druids, this plant brings good luck and wards off evil spirits. And in Norse mythology, mistletoe is a symbol of love, which explains the tradition of kissing under it.
For those who love plants (or struggle to keep them alive), there are several types of succulents that bloom around Christmas. These make the perfect gift! Look for ones that are easy to grow and are already blooming. Whether you're giving them to a colleague at work or a special friend, these plants are sure to bring joy and stay healthy with minimal effort.
