Pocket Advent Calendar

As we get closure to Christmas I am counting down with these great pockets to make my tree.

Each day pocket is filled with an ATC to match with facts and designs on them to match the outside day.

The Candy Cane ATC:

Today’s Pocket is the Candy Cane : with the Legend on the back side.

The white of the cane can represent the purity of Jesus Christ and the red stripes are for the blood he shed when he died on the cross. The peppermint flavor can represent the hyssop plant that was used for purifying in the Bible. However, all of these meanings were added to Candy Canes after they had become popular.
