National Candy Cane Day 2023

National Candy Cane Day is on December 26, and while that doesnβt mean itβll keep us from munching on the sugary sticks as early as Thanksgiving, it does give us a chance to indulge as much as we can before New Yearβs. With beginnings in 17th-century Germany, these sweet treats were curved to represent the shepherdsβ crooks. They later made their way to the States in the mid-19th century. Now we see them everywhere, even on trees.

The Nymphenburg Palace In Munich, Germany 2000
Later that day, I took the subway to the Nymphenburg Castle (Schloss Nyphenburg). I had a nice walk from the Palace Channel to the Palace itself. On my first visit, I just wanted to walk around the Palace’s garden and enjoy the nice weather and outdoors. While I was there, I got into a conversation with a local man, who pointed out the window of the room where King Ludwig II* was born in August 1845. He said Ludwig’s 155th birthday was three days ago. I laughed and answered, that my birthday was three days after Ludwig’s. But I’m not that old. I turned 27 that day of my trip to Munich. It was an educational conversation about Bavaria. As a Franconian, it is nice to learn about our state’s culture and history.
*King Ludwig II of Bavaria is also referred to as the Swan King or the Fairy Tale King. During his reign, he built the Herrenchiemsee, Linderhof, and the famous Neuschwanstein Castles. Walt Disney got his idea for the Cinderella Castle from Neuschwanstein, which can be seen in every Disney Park around the world, today.
