To all of CollectingCandy.com’s readers that celebrate it; Happy Thanksgiving!\u00a0 Today I’ll be sharing the only candy wrapper I could find created specifically for Thanksgiving – a holiday not known for store-bought candy.<\/p>\n

Before I get to the candy, I wanted to mention that I just finished watching the parade on TV.\u00a0 I’ve got a tradition for my Thanksgiving each year, and that’s to start my day with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast.\u00a0 I’ve been watching it since I was a kid, and I always make sure I see at least part of it every year.\u00a0 Living in New York City, I’ve even had the pleasure of watching the parade in-person (once from a super-cold rooftop and two other times from the comfort of friends’ offices on Broadway).\u00a0 It’s one of the fun things I always look forward to every year – and I’m sure it’s a tradition for a lot of us.\u00a0 It might be a bit corny, but I love it and it always puts me in the holiday mood.<\/p>\n

So let’s get back to the Thanksgiving candy.\u00a0 Here it is; a Whitman’s Chocolate-Covered Marshmallow Turkey wrapper from 1979:<\/p>\n

Whitman’s – Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Turkey – candy wrapper – 1979<\/p><\/div>\n

This reminds me that holiday candy goes straight from Halloween to Christmas, leaving Thanksgiving to be skipped over.\u00a0\u00a0 I have to admit that I do enjoy two months of Christmas candy.<\/p>\n

While we do get a bit of Autumn-themed candy packaging these days, it’s not the same thing.\u00a0 In light of that, I was happy that I was able to find at least one piece clearly produced for Thanksgiving.\u00a0 I think it’s a pretty neat piece.<\/p>\n

I hope everyone enjoys their day today with nothing but good food, family, and loved ones.<\/p>\n

I’ve got some family to call and some cookin’ to do, so for now I’ll sign off.\u00a0 Happy Thanksgiving!!\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
