Trivia
Dolly Parton has a song about "A Hard-Candy Christmas". This refers to being disappointed or down. Filled candies were not as available in the 30s through the 50s as they are today and were expensive. Children usually got chocolate covered filled candy at Christmastime as a treat. If their families were experiencing financial troubles all they would get were the relatively cheap hard candies which left them disappointed. See more »
