Holiday Wrapping and Tissue Paper
This is a traditional pattern to use for the holiday season to wrap gifts. For all matching items visit the Candy Canes Collection in the Holiday Store.
Hand Drawn Unique Candy Canes Pattern
An alternative, and somewhat coordinating, design is this hand-drawn Christmas pattern. Unlike the pattern above that uses clip art, every part of this design, shown below on many products, was drawn by hand. More than simply candy and leaves, here I have incorporated berries, aqua ornaments and bright yellow stars. Scroll to see more or visit the Christmas Collection.
Christmas Shopping Totes With Sayings
The text on these totes is easy to customize to your favorite holiday saying. Or use the printed versions of “Tis the Season” and “The most wonderful time of the year”.
Paper Goods
Paper plates and napkins will add to the holiday enjoyment when it comes time to clean up! Napkins come in quantities of 50 and plates come in quantities of 8.

Candy Canes and Christmas, The History
Why do we decorate and eat candy canes at Christmas? I was curious and found this article at History.com about how the tradition began.
It started in Germany when a choirmaster bent candy to resemble shepherd’s hooks, or staff. He did this to add a religious note to the candy he passed out to the choir boys who had a hard time sitting still in church.
It is also possible that the hook was added to make it possible to hang as something decorative.
Now of course candy canes are big business and especially at the holidays. They come in many sizes, colors, and flavors and can even be purchased as organic!(paid link)
