Yard Card - Christmas Candy 1 Sign

Though it may be hard to believe by many young people today, candy was once a "special occasion" treat. For many families, just before, during and immediately following the Great Depression, food was hard enough to come by and candy was an unaffordable luxury. Hard candies were, typically, the least expensive and most accessible. Today, mints are widely available . . . and are often offered at restaurants as a "breath freshener" following a meal. The striped, iconic, candy cane has its own impressive story. The red and white striping is based in Christianity: the white representing Mary's purity and the virgin birth; the red representing the blood shed by Jesus during the crucifixion. This wonderful design draws on those traditions. The background is red and white diagonally striped. This has been "covered" by two layers of white transparency to mute the intensity of the color. From there, a frame was "built" of green and white "candies". These embrace the central message, "Merry Christmas". You may replace the text with a name, sentiment or holiday message of your own. This eye-catching "yard card" is a delightful addition to your exterior Christmas decorations and a wonderful way of sending seasonal salutations to passers-by and neighbors. It's also a great backdrop for advertising holiday sales. Offered in the largest of three sizes, you are welcome to select the size that best fits your space and best meets your needs. Don't forget to include an "H" frame with your order to support the signage.
