December Haiku

December Poetry

By Juliette 
Cold sting of winter air
Bites with frozen jaws at the
Warmth of our small toes

Made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready
Dreidel I shall play

We wake up to that
Lovely smell of Christmas pine
And the early fog

Snow fades beneath feet
Snowflakes glide to eyelashes
Cocoa burns young tongues

Crisp rips of paper
Bows torn off, smiles then brighten
Makes a happy mess

My dry, old hands soothe
My very chapped lips that sting
Looking for chapstick

Holidays are done
Appreciative of my gifts
Leaving family

A Quick History of Sweethearts® Candy Hearts By Elie

SweetHearts - Candy Hearts Most Americans have heard of NECCO Wafers, the first candy in America. In 1847, NECCO wafers were created by Oliver Chase, also known as the starter of the American Candy industry. Oliver Chase is pretty famous, but did you know that he had a brother?  Daniel Chase Created the first SweetHearts ® candy hearts in 1866. To make them he used a new machine of his that could press food dye letters onto heart shaped NECCO wafers. Thanks to him, every year around and on Feb 14, we get to read and taste the little colorful candy hearts, one of the idols of modern Valentine’s Day.
