Christmas Candy Cane Poem About Jesus

Look at the Candy Cane

What do you see?

Stripes that are red

Like the blood shed for me

White is for my Savior

Who’s sinless and pure!

“J” is for Jesus My Lord, that’s for sure!

Turn it around

And a staff you will see

Jesus my shepherd

Was born for Me!

****************************************

The Christmas Candy Cane originated in Germany

about 250 yrs. ago. They started as straight

white sugar sticks. Sometime around 1900 the

red stripes were added and they were flavored

with peppermint or wintergreen.

Around 1920, Bob McCormack, from Georgia,

started making canes for his friends and family.

They became more and more popular and he

started his own business called Bob’s Candies.

Bob’s brother-in-law, Gregory Harding Keller, who

was a Catholic priest, invented the ‘Keller Machine’

that made the sticks into curved canes. In 2005,

Bob’s Candies was brought by Farley & Sathers but

they still make candy canes!
