Gimme that lollipop.

                                           

Legend has it that the candy cane was invented to sooth inattentive full of energy toddlers.

That is right ...to keep em quiet during a church function.

The crook is said to be a reminder of shepherds.

The confectionary mint has come a long way.

It not only can be flavored differently, it comes in a variety of colors now.

These fancy shaped mints come in different sizes too.

You can choose what you like.

From Thanksgiving to the New Year it is a quintessential part of the holiday season.

You can hang them on your tree or give them out as a kind gesture.

So enjoy your holiday lollipop and if the children need a little soothing sugar, its guaranteed history must mean it works!
