Candy Cane Lane

Ten-on-Ten

This month I read ahead on our assignment for Rebekka's Ten-on-Ten blog meetup.  Her theme for December is Candy Canes.  

Hmmm.  I love the creativity behind this idea.  I was forced to do a little searching to capture ten photos that represent the sweetness and joy of the season.  

I'm not a parent or a school teacher and I quickly realized how unprepared I was; we did not a candy cane in the house, not even a breath mint.  So this fun activity forced me to be on the lookout for candy-cane-like ideas hidden in plain sight.  Thanks for sending me on this fun candy-cane-lane scavenger hunt!

December is here already!  Note the red and white of the calendar's photo image?

Candy Cane lollipops on my desk.  (Sadly my one-and-only decoration at work...)

Candy cane snowman on a tree skirt - handmade by my Mom.  (Thanks Mom!!)

Red and silver berries will soon decorate the Christmas tree.

Red cardinal against white twinkle lights.

Candy cane ornament.  Another handmade gift from a friend.

An ornament for "her"...

... an ornament for "him."

"Joy" - Yes, that would best describe the season this year.

My neighbor's house, just outside my window - candy cane lane!

Have a joyous and peaceful holiday season everyone!
