Candy Tree

I love candy....chocolates, gummy candy, sours, hard candy.....you name it I love it. I always have...ever since I was little and you could go to the corner store and buy a bag of 1 cent candy....I love chocolate covered gummy bears, See's candy, swedish fish, swedish berries, mint leaves, charm pops, non pareils.....when I was young my parents were sure I wouldn't have a tooth left in my head...(thanks to the wonders of modern dentistry and a good cash investment I made it through with my teeth...had my share of pain in the process though).... A few years ago I told my family that I wanted to have a Christmas tree devoted to candy...I love the way it looks ..I love the way it tastes...especially at Christmas....brings me back to the wonderment of the holiday as a child...the ribbon candy and beautiful candied treats...candy was even prettier during the holidays. Hubby and kids thought I had lost it (so...what else is new). So with that I started my candy tree tradition...we have a white tree that can only be adorned with candy ...real and ornamental... in our front room, we usually put it up on Thanksgiving but if you have seen my Facebook updates you are aware that I am painfully behind this year!!! In our family room we have our traditional family Christmas tree but the front room is for our new tradition......for penny candy and cornerstores....for Christmases gone by.....
