According to legend, candy canes were created to symbolize Jesus, their shape representing the letter J. But to most people the hard, cane-shaped candy, traditionally with red and white stripes and flavored with peppermint, is as much an ornament as a confection - a sweet treat to munch as well as to decorate a tree. The artist who created this tasty Holiday Pony hails from Alabama keeps out a bowl of candy canes and swirls at Christmastime... and often long past. This Holiday 2008 Ornament comes in a beautiful, collectible, holiday tin. Resin Artist: Leslie Gates
