Kenlee did an art project that was the true meaning of the Candy Cane. I guess I had heard this story growing up, but I didn't remember it.
Many years ago a candy maker wanted to make a candy cane that would symbolize the true meaning of Christmas - Jesus.
The hard candy was shaped like a "J" to represent that Jesus is our rock of all ages. The candy was made of white to stand for the pureness of Jesus. The red represents the blood that Jesus shed.
So the next time you see a candy cane take a minute to remember the real meaning of Christmas.
My kids teach me things every single day.

You had to first put your children in an atmosphere where they could be exposed to those wonderful lessons. You do such a good job.
