Sweet Memories contest!
With the holiday season fast approaching, everyone is kicking into high gear and The Candy Store is no exception!Whatever your traditions or customs, candy and sweets are sure to be a decadent and lively fixture during your festivities. And with these seasonal treats come the memories of holidays past. Maybe you fondly recall the yearly packages of goodies sent from relatives in another country, brimming with sweets that weren't available locally and tasted like home. Or perhaps it's the taste of that first candy cane of the season that puts a smile on your face. Maybe you have a special recipe handed down from loved ones that incorporates all the smells and tastes that you shared together.
At The Candy Store, we relish these sweet memories - we see them on the faces of our guests every day! We treasure the chance to hear your stories about childhood and holiday treats and are so pleased to be able to revive those memories. That's why we'd like to host a Sweet Memories contest to share those stories! Between now and the 24th of December you can comment here or send us an e-mail info@thecandystoreottawa.ca telling us about your Sweet Memories involving candies from the holiday season. We'll comb through the entries and select one to receive a Candy Store gift card and will repost, with your permission of course, the story for all our readers to enjoy.
So pick up that memorable sweet treat for inspiration and put pen to paper (or fingers to keys!) and share your stories with us for a chance to win!

I always had a chocolate advent calendar when I was growing up and I never quite outgrew the idea. My husband and I had one before we were married, and it was always a race to see who would get that day’s chocolate.
It was December 16th and were coming home after work. We stepped in the door at the same moment. The chocolate! I made a dash for it, in fact, I may have even pushed him out of the way to get it. ;) I remember it so clearly... running to the kitchen, finding that day's number, pushing my finger into the perforation and pulling at the little paper door and ...
...the chocolate was gone.
In its place was a shining circle of gold and a sparkling solitaire. I turned to see him, his eyes were just as bright, and he was smiling. The next part is a bit of a blur. I do know this, I said yes.
We went to Mekong to celebrate. I remember thinking how blindingly beautiful that diamond was. I loved it, I did, I do.
