Throughout December 2024, several of us are taking part in the 30-Day PPT Coach4aday Challenge. PPT is an acronym for People Places or Things. Each day we share our insights, thoughts, or memories about a person (living or dead), a place (we have visited or learned about) or a thing that intrigues us. Today I’m featuring CANDY CANE.

You might have missed it but yesterday was National Candy Cane Day. My friend John Rancke did a post for me back on December 26, 2018, where he presented lots of interesting facts and history about this confectionary treat.

People, Places, & Things 30-Day Challenge Guidelines

Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines

  1. Each day in December 2024 write about a Person, Place or Thing-PPT
  2. Share at least one fact, memory, or quality about your subject choice.
  3. If so inclined use the hash tag #Coach4adayChallenge on social media platforms

December 27th-Candy Cane

In that 2018 post by John Rancke he points out that many of the stories about Candy Cane tied to religion are not historically correct. Yet one fact is true the invention of the Keller Machine by a Catholic Priest named Gregrory Keller impacted the availability of them.
