I just loved choosing colorful candies to decorate my little gingerbread house! Even today, I buy candy canes to decorate ~ our Christmas tree, the Christmas table, and even a tea party.

My mother always purchased an assortment of candy at Christmas - soft fruit jellies coated with sugar, hard striped candies, and nuts, always nuts, in the shell.
