Many countries celebrate Christmas as Christ’s Birthday. They spend Advent season in preparing their hearts for His coming and they give Him the gifts of their hearts. In these other countries they exchange their gifts on the feast of Epiphany when they also celebrate the arrival of the three Kings with their gifts fot the Christ Child. That is considered the day to exchange gifts with everyone else. This is not a pagan feast. I think this stoy is wonderful and would wish all children were taught this about the candy cane. I wish I had known it when my children were young.

I thank that is a great story to tell kids. And no we dont worship the tree or lights or the dang candy canes. But I know some people might, I guess if they r that dumb let em thank what ever it’s Jesus birthday so let’s have fun and celebrate him

Yea, they want u to believe all of that nonsense but the candy cane has nothing to do with CHRIST. It’s just another pagan idol like the Xmas tree, the lights, the wreath, the mistletoe, the gifts. Speaking of gifts, why, if it’s Jesus’ birthday does everybody gets gifts but him? If u want to know where Xmas came from, it’s the day chosen to worship the sun god. Pagan, all of it…..
