We love the traditional peppermint canes on our tree and they don't last at all. A few years ago I made dark chocolate dipped canes and rolled them into red,green sprinkles for my class. I had alot of children ask me for cherry canes for some reason.

That is a great idea....I'll try that this year..I love chocolate and mint together.

I bought a box of the cherry ones for my greats and put them on my tree If I can find the cinnamon ones again this year I will buy myself a box to put on the tree.

I have so many decorations, that I can't put them all on the tree as it is. I do like them, but I just don't have room for them. When I was a kid we always hung candy canes on the tree, along with my mom's homemade gingerbread men.

Isn't it interesting how people have different views on things? I was always told it represented the sheppard's staff.

Every year- this was a family tradition when we were kids. The fruity ones were our favorite. In fact we even had little trees in our room that we could decorate by ourselfs and we had the mini candy canes on those. Heck- we even strung popcorn. I loved it- I can't wait til my son gets old enough to help and enjoy doing those things.
