The eternal holiday question! Or is it: have you ever had a candy cane?

If you're particular about your confectionery walking canes, talk about 'em here, and don't forget to vote!

@Poopsie answered Pat Buchanan.

I can counter with full confidence that it was neither him nor me.

I don’t eat candy canes lol

I don't eat them, so my natural response is Pat Buchanan.

Why would you deny yourself the thrill of raw sugar in the shape of a shepherd's crook?!

Lumi, I want you to stop for a second and completely consider this poll.

Isn't it great?!

The question mark there doesn't help.

Did you know that if you break off a little piece of the stem of the candy cane and hold it under the rest, it will look like a question mark?! Candy canes are just good old fun, y'all.

I think I try having it from the hook down, but I always end up chewing it to bits. I'm terrible when it comes to candy you're supposed to suck. I can't even suck a mint - I instinctively bite down and ruin all of the fun.

Yes, I might sharpen it. And yes, it might be thrown like a dart in your general direction.

Ah, you. Always putting the Liz in Feliz Navidad...

Unless that candy cane dart caused enough damage so that I'm Feliz Navidead. Then there's sad to be had, and that's not rad.

I've had to master the art of not biting down on everything because braces. I can eat certain chewy/hard candies if I remember to only suck on it and not bite down. So far so good. Once I forget, oh boy, that's not good.

Lumi, I'm not going to manage to kill your holiday spirit, am I? It's just gonna live on no matter how many candy cane darts come your way.
