newbuzz...Why is there so much Easter Candy? I just threw out the Christmas candy last week, and I think if I looked hard enough, I could even find some Halloween candy around here. Why do they make so many kinds of candy, and why do I buy it? Sometimes we eat the candy and sometimes it just sits in the candy dish until the holiday is over. Then we toss it away to make room for the next bowl of sugar. I like to have it because holiday candy is fun and it makes me feel like a kid. It is cheap and plentiful. Instant emotion every time I reach for a piece - from the store shelf, or the candy dish. I think for the next holiday, I'm going to give up the candy and start reaching for hugs instead.
