Never had one. Is it like Blackpool rock? If so... yuck.

Something like it but not nearly as big and not nearly as sweet. Most Candy Canes are minty and not that large.

Blackpool Rock... way too sweet.

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
I prefer hot chocolate, made from scratch (or as scratch as you can get) with the marshmallows..whipped cream... Although the little hot cocoa packets serve for a quick treat.

Wraps wraps..um santa likes to wrap presents...

White on the house, colored on the tree, running lights are cool too.
