Candy Canes

You may have heard the story about the Candy Cane, and it's Christian symbolism. Apparently snopes.com has deemed this rumor untrue. My arguement though is why do we care? Shouldn't our faith and belief in Christ our saviour be seen in anything and everything? So despite snopes best efforts to poo poo the Candy Cane origin I for one choose to see;
  • The letter “J” as in Jesus
  • or, the staff of a Good Shepherd
  • or, the white color to represent his purity and virgin birth
  • or, the bold red stripe of God's love
  • or, the 3 stripes defining our Holy Trinity
  • or, anything else for that matter that continues to remind me of the joy he has brought to my life!
