Growing up there were many candies I liked and there were those candies that I did not like at all. Here is the 24 Best Candies To Try ! I am allergic to peanuts and all nuts so finding peanut free or may contain peanut candies were tough. My peanut allergy was not severe but I never had issues with candies that may contain peanuts or proccessed in a facility with peanuts. But for those who are severly allergic to peanuts and all nuts then be aware of the ingredients and where it was processed. However, me not having a severe allergy I found that these Candies were the best and I never had issues with them. For me they were peanut and all nut safe.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
