What did the doctor give Santa when he broke his leg falling down the chimney? You guessed it – a candy cane! Bah, a good joke, right? Or absolutely terrible? You be the judge.
You’re probably wondering why that joke ever entered my head. I mean, what was this girl thinking about all day? Truth be told? How to best decorate a bus stop with candy canes.
Cane after cane went up in the little bus stop, and soon enough I’m wondering why they are called candy canes in the first place. At the same time, I’m fielding calls from doctors & nurses about tests results and upcoming appointments. Candy cane experiment meets girl in recovery and poof! – A Christmas joke is made.
Minneapolis temperatures have been hovering around 0 the past few days, and so I wanted to give holiday treats to people that could use a little cheer amidst the cold. Waiting for your ride with a candy cane is better than waiting for your ride without one, right? Hopefully the rah rah rah experiment worked to make a couple people smile:
Bus stop decorated, I spent the rest of the day decorating the apartment and getting ready for Christmas (the countdown is officially 1 week). The stalkings went up, the decorations came out, and Kinzie got a new scarf. I know, I know, a scarf for my dog? I just couldn’t resist.
Also, how cute is this DIY? Not my own, but just might get some wood while we’re at the cabin and make something incredibly similar. Should be simple, right?
Are you ready for Christmas?
The joke and the snowman are my favorite. I do not take the bus much anymore, but I do like free candy!
I love your Christmas things – the coffee mugs made me laugh 🙂
what a cute idea!! and every dog needs a scarf, i think!
Your puppy is just the cutest! And those mugs! Love your Christmas spirit, girly. I’ll bet those bus riders felt a bit more jolly as they boarded the bus! 🙂
ok, love that joke! haha! definitely gonna be using it! 🙂
that’s so sweet of you to put candy canes at the bus stop! i’m sure that will cheer up so many people! 🙂
all of your decorations look so great & that snowman is awesome!!
What happens under the mistletoe stays under the mistletoe — I love that mug, haha! I can’t believe Christmas is less than a week away now!
Great joke, and I love that you decorated bus stops with candy canes.
You always have the most incredible ideas. Your creativity is simply amazing. I love the snowman, the welcome sign with the logs, and the candy cane idea 🙂 Best wishes for a Merry Christmas to you and your family!
You’re so sweet to be thinking of others even when you’re not feeling well. I made extra holiday cookies (Christmas and Hanukkah cut outs) to hand out on the plane this holiday season. I’ll have to let you know how it goes! rah rah rah 🙂
Your dog is absolutely adorable! And I have to admit… I laughed at the joke that you started your post off with! Happy Holidays!
Next time you do a bigger rahrahrah project or you want someone to help, count me in! I hope you feel better soon and have a merry Christmas!
I loved this post, Jen, and it made me smile from ear to ear! Your candy cane joke was funny and the snowman picture is my favorite! 🙂 I hope you have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year! Also sending healing angels your way! 🙂
I love that welcome sign idea! And I’m still smiling from your joke 🙂
I love the candy cane idea! I wish I were at that bus stop so I could grab a treat! (Maybe not, as you said the temps have been near ZERO in Minneapolis lately, ha.)
Merry Christmas, doll! Can’t believe it’s next week!
