CandyFavorites

I noticed an interesting thing while looking at my calendar this morning

It is the end of June and the weather in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is quite nice with warm skies being the norm.   It is hard to think of anything other than outdoor activities and an upcoming summer vacation BUT, believe it or not, almost six (6) months to the day, we will be celebrating Christmas!

The thought of cold weather and snow sends shivers through me but one good thing about the Yuletide season is the selection of Christmas Candies that runs the gamut from fatuous to sublime. 

 I must admit that I consume my fair share of candy canes from September until supplies dwindle and perhaps that is why Peppermint Tootsie Pop Candy Canes, as reviewed earlier this week, remain a personal favorite.

One interesting twist is that many celebrate “Christmas in July.”  After a little research; I learned that this is due to the Southern Hemisphere having colder weather.  The Wikipedia link explains it, and almost everything else, in great detail.

With the countdown beginning, why not bring this tradition to your spot on the Western Hemisphere?   Although our selection of Christmas Candy is at its peak in September, we keep classics in stock year round!

Oh, Santa is just starting to renew his list on who has been “naughty or nice”  so why not try to share your favorite sweets with love ones …

PS: The photo above brought back memories as it was featured in one of retail stores in the 70’s when you could actually purchase a large candy cane for 3 cents.   As Bob Dylan so aptly said, “times they are a changin’”
