The Legend of the Candy Cane
I found this on a package when I was buying holiday candy.
The Legend of the Candy Cane: Sharing the sweetness of the meaning of Christmas.
Jesus Gentle Shepherd,
This cane of red and white
Proclaims the sweet love story
Born on Christmas night.
This cane, you see, when turned around
Begins your name of Love
And now becomes a symbol
Of peace proclaimed above.
The lively peppermint flavor
Is the regal gift of spice
The white is your purity
And the red your sacrifice.
And so this cane reminds us
Of just how much you care
And like your Christmas Gift
To us it's meant for all to share.

This is a special reminder of all the good things around the holidays. I especially remember making cookies, although this is fun year 'round! Thanks for sharing this wonderful legend.

29 Gifts In 29 Days: Day 6

I really like this give. It's a great idea!
Day 15 is so sweet - any mom would love that.
On day 13, I got back from school and still hadn't given anything. I saw a pile of laundry on the floor in the living room and i decided that folding it would be a great give. My mom works a lot and she doesn't have very much time to do laundry, s...

We did buy a turkey for a small nursing home near our home and we ...
