There are specific features and traditions that make Christmas pleasant and memorable, which uses many hours wandering through shopping malls and stores to find just the perfect Christmas gift for each person on your list, thoughtfully wrapping each gift and folding it before Christmas tree, holidays, and family and friends to gather around a dinner table laden with favorite dishes. But for many people, Christmas would simply not be complete without the inclusion of special Christmas Hard Candy in their socks.
Many people also have fond memories of visits by children at home with family members or friends and are greeted by bowls with Hard Candy, like red and white peppermint disks wrapped in clear cellophane or the bright and colorful ribbon candy. Most children had the opportunity to begin to learn the importance of patience and practice it so well, while they waited with big eyes and watering mouths to be offered a chance to snatch a handful of candy.
One of the most popular and common types of Hard Candy, which also is a perpetual favorite among kids of all ages, the ubiquitous candy cane that will have a large selection of sizes. These can range from the smallest of candy canes, which can be devoured in a lick or two all the way to the gigantic sticks of striped candy that seems as big as a baseball bat, which can be seen in virtually any setting during the holidays, used as decorations or available as treats.
Many people use candy canes to decorate their Christmas trees, while others tuck them in Christmas stockings. Often, a candy cane will find its way into a rich cup of hot chocolate, which adds an extra dimension of peppermint flavor and mixes so well with chocolate.
In many families there is a tradition to let some fresh Christmas cookies or chocolate chip cookies out with a nice glass of milk so that Santa can recharge and rejuvenate themselves for the long night of delivering presents, he is facing. There are other families who also omit some hard candy as part of their family tradition and often a candy cane or two, it's all about choice for the cheerful and generous gentleman.
There are many varieties of hard candy that is not specifically associated with Christmas, there are also long-time favorites of people for different reasons. Mostly, it seems that people have a tendency to want to enjoy their favorite candy that they remember from their childhood. As a result, you can now find a candy store in almost every shopping center across the country, which not only has a nice selection of chocolate, but also buckets and barrels full of "old fashioned" candy, such as a sham that has been popular for generations. Of course, humbug candy in no way connected with the words, "Bah, humbug", as quoted in Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
A popular choice for gift giving these days is gourmet gift baskets that include Hard Candy, gourmet chocolate, truffles, cookies, or almost any other edible indulgence that a person can enjoy. These gift baskets offer variety and make it easy to find just the thing to give, even to the person who already seems to have too.
