It's so difficult to find the original peppermint candy canes in stores. I think it's because so many people are trying to remove any reference to Christ from Christmas. We cannot have CHRISTmas without Christ! The candy cane is red and white striped. Red represents the blood of Christ and white represents the cleansing or forgiveness of our sins. Also, the stripes represent the lashes that Jesus suffered when He was going to be crucified. By His stripes, we are healed! The candy cane looks like a shepherd's staff. The shepherds were visited by an angel when they were guarding their flocks at the time Jesus was born. The angel came with a Heavenly host to tell the shepherds about Jesus' birth. An upside down candy cane looks like a "J" which stands for Jesus. God bless everyone this Christmas! I think the best Christmas candy is the candy cane.
