Christmas Candy

That's cool! My family has always put candy and little gifts in our stockings. There was no real reason behind it though. It was mostly tradition. My grandma always like to remind us of the story of the candy cane at Christmas time though. :-)

My daughter is only a couple months old so she can't have candy, but when she's older I'll def be putting those candy canes of gum in her stocking... they were my favorite when I was little.

I miss fixing stockings like i use to do for my kids. I always put candy in theirs along w/other things to. I agree w/u about the fruit etc. i think it was because it was pratical.we all need to be more pratical when it comes to gifts & things.

Actually since my baby days I already knows whose putting candies and others in the stocking none other than my father and mother, so my children now never ask also or request any candies in the stocking because they knows the story.... see you around

maybe they give candy to children is the only natural thing in my opinion. in the appeal we have to give that is not appropriate for children keecil. and usually in the films also child like in love candy and it really should.

I just think it's a nice gift which basically fits anyone! + you don't have to doany hard work thinking of/buying a present!

shi opinionatedlady oh wow I was raised in the depresson yearsa so ' go an apple and an orange and a ton of various candies and i always remember the red and green ribbon candies that had not much flavor but were sweet then candy canes and peanut brittle and popcorn balls that my mom made. they were so good.then we always had gingerbread too.oh yheas and candycorn by the handfuls and gumdrops my favorites were licorice. also mince pies and p;umpkin too

We do the same thing. I remember my mom used to always put the coolest stuff in my stocking. I don't know where she found the candy but it was always good stuff that I couldn't figure out where she got any of it from. Hadn't seen it before. I remember ribbon candies. We used to get alot of clothes for the same reason you mentioned. It was practical. My ex husband got upset with me because I baught him some warm clothings along with the other things I got for him. He thought it was weird. He worked outside year round then and I wanted him to be warm. Families are different.
