The earliest recorded association with this festive season is in 1874, but according to folklore the origin of candy canes goes back to the 17th century, when a choirmaster in Cologne, Germany had the brilliant idea of giving sweet candy sticks to kids in church, so they'd be quiet during the Christmas Eve service. The sticks were given hooks at the end to resemble shepherd's staffs or crooks, thus relate to the nativity scene. Whether or not this story is true, candy canes are classic treats as well as Xmas decorations on the tree and in the home ... now you can even decorate yourself, with this bright red white and green striped tie! Merry Christmas to you and yours :)
