my true love sent to me:
11 candy canes
10 rolls for pencils
9 bad jokes
8 plates for turkey
7 twinkling lights
6 stuffed mushies
5 glowing gifts
4 waiting sacks
3 chrissy trees
2 drinks with bubbles
& a sp...i...i...i...i...ng santa
I know, I know there are supposed to be 12. I had to sample didn't I?
The candy cane doesn't really do it for me. I'm always disappointed in the peppermint. I don't reckon that they look like they should taste minty.
Candy canes are so much a part of Christmas that you have to force yourself to like them as they are always in plentiful supply this time of year.
I remember sticky taping candy canes onto cheap cards when I was a kid in primary school & now my kids do the same. I think just about every kid in the class does the candy cane thing so that means about 25 canes per child!
