The Adventures of Little Miss Candy Cane Jayne, Entry #1

-

Hello Everyone!  My name is Candy Cane Jane and I am one of Santa's special elves.  I live at the North Pole, but I get to travel all over the world!  I have been to so many places that it would take me an entire year to tell you about all of them!  My friends at The Burning Barrel Farm are kind of enough to let me come visit them whenever I am close by.  Alex and Amy love to make me a cup of homemade hot chocolate and little Miss Morgan, well she makes the BEST banana white chocolate chip muffins I have ever eaten.  

One day, I was sitting in their kitchen and we were chit-chatting about my latest adventure to Ireland where I visited my cousin, Gael (she's a leprechaun, you know) and Alex suggested I write my adventures down.  He said I could even use their blog!  And I thought, "What a novel idea!"  So here I am introducing myself and letting you know how excited I am to share with you some of the adventures I have had in some of the coolest places in the world.  One of my favorite places to visit is The Burning Barrel Farm.  I will include a few stories from my adventures here with the Lucy Family.  We have had quite a few, that is for sure!

So for starters, I will make this entry brief and just say the basics (at least for now).  First of all, I am older than anyone reading this blog.  I was born on Christmas day many, and I do mean many, years ago.  My job is very important at the North Pole.  I am the primary hot chocolate maker for the big man himself, that's right...Santa Claus!  That's a big job, you know.  And that is exactly why I have to travel all over the world.  I find the best ingredients for Santa's hot chocolate and if he approves of the recipes I make, then I get the best cookies for a treat.  My favorite cookie is the white chocolate macadamia nut!  

All the elves are my brothers and sisters.  We are not exactly related, but we treat each other as if we were.  Santa does not like any strife in his workshop and he and Mrs. Claus work so hard to make us all feel loved and welcomed.  Whenever Mrs. Claus comes to visit us in the kitchen, she always ask each one of us about our day and then gives us a piece of her favorite candy: peanut butter rolls.  She makes them herself.

I am not allowed to take pictures, that goes against code 12.25 in our Rule Book.  However, Santa said I could get Emily to draw a picture of me and show you guys.  She is such an incredible artist!  I will see if she can do that in my next blog post. 

I am so very excited to interact with those who wish to read my blog.  I am going to try and post a couple times a week and as we get closer to Christmas, life is going to get so much more interesting.  I can't wait to tell you what we do at the North Pole in preparation for Santa's big ride!  And it isn't always a smooth one.  Thank you for taking the time to read about the Lucy family in their personal blog and, hopefully, you will enjoy my blog on their page!  I am squealing with excitement!!!  

Until next time...

Candy Cane Jane

Plot Twists

In my last post, I mentioned that everyone's journey is different.  Our journey began in childhood and has been tumultuous at times and smooth at other times.  It isn't easy.  I don't think anyone's journey is easy, whether they are farming, working in the corporate world, or have a blue-collar job.  All jobs are worthy of respect, and the recognition that they require effort and gumption.  The point is there is a story for every person and that story would be very boring if it were written with the same plot for the main characters (or protagonists).  In mine and Alex's story, we have quite a bit of rising action and many climactic scenes that keep leading up to a great falling action, and finally a resolution.  BUT, we are not quite ready to reach the end of our story.  Our short story turned into a novel somewhere along the way.  In this novel, we have lots of plot twists and some pretty great supporting characters to make this story go forward. We also had some

  Have you ever wanted to explain something, but cannot find the words to sufficiently describe what it is you want to tell?   Well, that’s me right now.   I wanted to do this long blog piece on how Alex and I got to the point we are right now (mostly because we have had a lot of people ask us), but I have so much to say that I completely stumble over exactly what it is that I want to say.   So, I guess I can start by saying that anyone can fall into a more simplistic lifestyle, but how you get there is something that is entirely your own journey.   Our journey began as children.   Alex’s childhood was filled with fond memories of playing outside, sports, and visiting his grandmother in Floyd County, Virginia.   All these things shaped Alex into a young man who loved to be outside and was independent in his actions and in his viewpoints.   He was a thinker and a problem solver (and still is).   As Alex grew older, he began to realize the impact of spending time with his grandmother a

Hi Everyone!  I am still so very excited about this blog and I have been thinking all week about what I should make my second post about and then it hit me!  Since I am using Alex and Amy’s blog, I thought I would tell you about how I met them!  I guess it was about six or seven years ago, I was on a mission for Santa.    He wanted me to go to Hershey, PA but somehow my sled landed in Virginia.    It was a full moon that night and for some reason, my official North Pole GPS was acting really strange.    My system said I was over Pennsylvania, but I was actually over Virginia!    I did think it was strange that I kept seeing these blue-colored mountains and I thought I even saw a really big lake and I knew that wasn’t supposed to be in the middle of Hershey.    I looked around for a field to land Donder and Blitzen in so I could call Vespucci.    He is our elf in charge of all the routes us elves take when we run errands for Santa. It was then, I saw it!    There in the middle of a bunc
