So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Candy Origin

By Joshua Adekane


We all have favorite candies from our childhoods. Why? Well, candy-albeit not being really all that healthy-does have an appeal. They taste wonderful. Secondly, most of the time, people would rather buy sweets than anything else. And frankly, candies and sweets just keep us from being down! Here are some interesting facts about the origin of wonderful candies...

How it Started

Candies during the time were not as fancy as they look today. Moreover, chocolates didn't come to be until the mid-1800s. During the middle ages, only honey and molasses were used to sweeten nuts or fruits and those were already the first candies. And, like our gourmet candies nowadays, they were quite a bit expensive. Nowadays, it is great to think that we don't really have to amass fortunes just to buy candies, and we can even buy them at wholesale prices! Always remember this when you eat candies! During that time, people have never heard of "wholesale" candies, much less have seen some!

How Candies Developed

Candy bars and others have evolved through the years. But of course, there are pioneers in changes as well as those that followed suit. Take the M&M's for example. Named for the two owners of the Mars Company, and made so that they wouldn't melt in your hands while you were sitting out during a hot summer day. Also these chocolates were made with regards to the military! (After all...there is a big difference in fighting in cold as well as hot and humid terrains!) In fact, they were only available to the military for a while and used/eaten during WWII.

Still Here!

Candies have also weathered decades and still are here with us today. Chocolate is an example of a candy that will probably be around for good (which wasn't really sweet when it was first discovered. How it ended up being made into candy when it started as a spicy thick drink is a mystery!), and the candy corn. Moreover, other wholesale candies available today, may trace their origins to the olden times! And who would have thought it? Do a little bit of research next time you buy candy...you'll be surprised!

Finally...

Another intriguing fact about candy bars are the ones that had to be delivered to your doorstep like the daily paper or milk. That's right-that's how our friend the Heath bar started out! Learning about your candy can be a lot of fun-and there are many great resources to check into to get the information that you crave! (No pun intended, of course.) These are just a few fun facts and trivia about your candy. Who knows-maybe you'll discover out something you didn't know that absolutely fascinates you... we can only hope! Finally, just enjoy feasting on your yummy, absolutely delicious candy! Maybe you'll even be eager to pass your knowledge on! For those trying to find a healthier snack but still a little sweet, I would suggest benefiting from wholesale dried fruits.
