Candy canes can be mistaken for guns under certain circumstances. Any kid caught with a candy cane will have to be handcuffed and dragged out of school by the zero tolerance police. Any parent found to have distributed candy canes will have to be arrested for child abuse.

Back when I was a kid (eyes glaze over at this time) we used to suck them down to a razor-sharp point and jab one another with them. I mean, it wasn't Christmas until at least ONE of us was bleeding from a puncture wound to the forearm or thigh.
What a generation of wussies we're raising, LOL!
