We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2014: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye...  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.

Buh bye, 2014.

Ooh, I like the idea of cinnamon candy with chocolate filling. The chik-o-stix I am less enthused about (though butterfingers are awesome)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I also forgot to say, I got msbelle's holiday card and it made my day!

Also, I have never heard of chicken bones either. not the delicious ones, anyway.

I think I've had chicken bones candy under a different name ... I think I'd know if I'd eaten something with that name.

In regard to the bread ... place I used to work, we had a woman who would try to impress people with her mad baking skills ... she once made bread that she'd pierced and then dripped different flavors/colors of Jell-O into. Weird. And wet. Tasted about as bad as it looked.

Apparently it's an Australian thing. But no one knows who brought it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oooh, mystery Fairy Bread!

I have never heard of any of these sweet things.

Chicken Bones are from a regional candy maker and are a Christmas tradition around here. But they're very divisive. Lots of people think they taste terrible, while others can't wait for them to come back every year. My BFF when I was little would get them in her stocking every year and be very excited. I have to say, I find hard candies with soft centres a little jarring, texturally.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

My grandmother used to have them at Christmas, too. The chocolate with mint and also the peanut butter ones. I never knew they were called chicken bones. Are they considered a Canadian thing? My family straddled the Detroit River and family reunions in Windsor were common when my dad was kid.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh, this is where I should say I got msbelle's holiday card! With bonus valentine and Hello Kitty tattoo.

Yes, me too! Muy exciting! My son ran off with the card at first and I had to chase him down for it.

I have never heard of chicken bones before. But then again I had never heard of packzi before Steph first mentioned them on the board.
