This little story simply brings our Lord Jesus Christ into a Candy Cane which is important part of Christmas to many people. After seeing how it ties in with Christ, it is with hope that each time you see a Candy Cane you will think of Him, and it will mean something special.
There were once two villages in a far-off land. One was in a valley and one on a mountain top. The folks in the mountain village wanted to give each person in the valley village a gift of love at Christmas. The people in the valley village were having a difficult time, but those on the mountain village were doing well (sometimes when we are on a mountain top, we can help those who are going through a valley in their lives – this is what these mountain folks wanted to do also). So, a committee was formed to see if someone would be able to think of something special. Money was limited, and each gift had to be of equal value to each person. After much time, discussion and consideration, a decision was finally reached. An elderly gentleman who had loved Jesus for many years and who was well respected in the mountain village came up with the idea of a candy cane. Now you are thinking, what is so special about a candy cane, and how can it ever be tied in with Christmas – here is how and why!
