Hello there!! Christmas is just around the corner. And I'll try to get you into the mood of Christmas! Every now and then I'll post a little thing about Christmas here so you can understand how this beautiful day is celebrated in the US. And of course, don't forget to leave your comment after reading this post!!
Today I'm gonna talk about the candy cane!
The candy cane is a traditional Christmas holiday treat. It is in the shape of a cane, and usually has red and white stripes, and is flavored with peppermint or cinnamon. It is common to hang them on the Christmas tree and then take them off and eat them on Christmas day.
- treat = guloseima
- cane = bengala
- is flavored with = é temperado com
- take off = tirar
One legend has it that the candy cane originated as a testimony to the true meaning of why Christ came to earth. The J-shape stands for the name Jesus. Red represents His blood that was shed on the cross for our sins, and white represents the cleansing of our sins through faith in His sacrifice.
- one legend has it = diz uma lenda
- j-shape = formato da letra "J"
- stands for, phrasal verb = representa
- through faith = por intermédio da fé

I love how you gave the Christian version of the meaning of the candy Cane. I'm not much of a candy cane lover, but do have them around my house for Christmas.
My favorite thing to do with Candy Canes during Christmas is to hang them on the tree. We can grab one and enjoy them during the Christmas season and then put new ones on the next year.
Try them in hot chocolate too - they are delicious!!!
Merry Christmas to all !!
