Candies Seen Only At Christmas
Candies Seen Only At Christmas
The Christmas season in the extended multifaceted social maze of the modern Canadian family starts early. There are multiple families to visit, multiple suppers with all the fixings to eat. Mine started today at my Mother’s house. Later there will be a visit to my Father’s, and then My Father-in-law’s.
My kids have even more of a journey as they must do Christmas at their Mother’s, their maternal Grandparents, and then the family of their Step-Father. It’s a busy, hectic time, full of travel, turkey, gravy, a second helping of turkey, and very likely a turkey sandwiches near midnight after everyone else is sleeping.
Many traditions come and go at Christmas time, but an enduring one since my earliest recollection is the crystal bowels of Bassett’s Licorice Candy Allsorts… Naturally flavoured and available to fine families everywhere. Sometimes the stale ones taste like the 1899 originals
It wouldn’t be Christmas without them.
