    Thanks Moff. I looked everywhere but Walmart.

    They have it in a special aisle with Christmas candy. It's in a can and called "Old Fashioned" candy. Guess they figured the PC police would get them if they called it Christmas candy any more!

    I couldn't find the kind we used to call ribbon candy. It was a hard candy that looked like a white ribbon with red in it.

    Happy Hunting!

    I remember the ribbon candy & also stick candy with green or red stripes.
    We didn't get much candy at all back then. Christmas & Halloween were the
    only times to get loads of candy.

    I got a Christmas card from Mario! Really! Thanks LB! That was too cute!

    I'm all candied out. Our clients have been more than generous this year. This afternoon at the office, even the gargantuan platter of smoked salmon was going uneaten - everyone is so stuffed full of sugar! So, I've brought some Christmas bagels and lox for Thursdays and a bucket of chocolate candy. Yes, Mario, you can have one, but only one. Enjoy, everyone!

    We have that at the one place I worked at... The Moravian Book Shop. It was in the "gourmet" section... Moravian Book Shop

    I think our Walgreens has some old fashioned candy too. I know I've seen the ribbon stuff around here.

    What can you recommend for someone going into Day 6 of their 8 day work week?

    Merry Christmas everyone. I'm actually here at work - but I'll be getting off early. Most of the rest of the company has the day off but I don't mind especially since this is my first Christmas at my new job. (I started here last August).

    I know I haven't been around much but I am thinking of you and its so good to see so many of the "regular" names still here at the bar.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

    Just stopped by to buy everyone here a Christmas drink!

    Ribbon candy? I saw it offered in the Vermont Country store catalog this year.

    Yes, I am in Boston and having a wonderful time with my brother's family.
    Trying very hard to keep the six year old from finding the presents. Sydney asked if she could sleep in my bed - sooo Charlie the dog, Rocky the Raccoon, the kissing bears, the big kitty, a reindeer or two piled in with me and I soon learned that my stomach makes for a wonderful foot warmer for Sydney!

    I am not sleeping too well, but I wouldn't have it any other way!! HO HO HO!

    Thank you for the Christmas drink, Gini. Glad you are having a good time with the family. Would anyone like some of my nice glazed ham? It will be ready soon, and smells yummy!

    Merry Christmas to all the bar's patrons, past and present. You make this world a better place.

    Thanks for the card Mario, you old sweetie.

    Stand next to a Christmas tree and inhale deeply, the smell is intoxicating...unless the tree is plastic of course. Watch out for renegade cats too!

    Merry Chirstmas everyone!! Hope your holiday is fun and safe and filled with lots of joy!

    Hi everyone....Merry Christmas!

    I'll start to pour and HEY!!!!!

    New batteries for the ORC!
    A squirt gun for the Edster....
    And a Red Ryder BB gun!!!!
    The secret of life is nothing at all
    -faith hill

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.
