These Candy Canes Do NOT Put Me In The Christmas Spirit

Christmas is only a few weeks away. Normally, I'm very festive this time of year, but THIS is going to turn me into a Scrooge.

CandyWarehouse.com is home to thousands of specialty candies, ranging from classic to crazy. I'd file this under the latter...PICKLE CANDY CANES.

The tradition of hiding a pickle in the boughs of a Christmas tree originated in old world Germany. The final decoration placed on a fir tree on Christmas Eve, the pickle found by one lucky family member signified the coming of good fortune for the treasure-finder ... Keep with pickle-hanging tradition this year or test it out for the first time by hiding one or more of these charming green-and-white striped Pickle Candy Canes in your Christmas tree for a little elf to find! These striped hard candies are showy confections that spread good cheer when displayed at the holidays. [CandyWarehouse.com]

This has to be one the worst Christmas gifts ever. "Hey, son. Here's some vinegar on a stick. Merry Christmas!" What kind of fresh hell is that? I'd rather get a stocking full of Donald Trump campaign stickers.

However, these candy canes are totally acceptable. :-)
