It's the stuff I wait for all year round. And it's not even for the taste. Of course, it does taste delicious. The stuff is ridiculously creamy, full to the top with candy-cane pieces and loaded with chocolate crackles. But the real reason that I love it so much is that it embodies the Christmas Season in my mind, just as much as the first snowfall, the claymation Rudolph that I used to watch on TVO kids every year, and the plush Barney-wearing-a-Santa-hat that we used to set out for me.
Notice that I've said The Christmas Season. That's something totally different than Christmas itself. Christmas is about Christ, and The Season is technically about commercialism. However, to me the Christmas Season still has some kind of magic, which to me, is embodied in my Candy-cane ice-cream.
Tiffy the Pink Fluffy Yellow Llama came from a long and complicated joke made up way back in elementary school by my friend Richard. It had something to do with a strange writing assignment from our incredible english teacher. And yes, it is possible to be a pink llama and a yellow llama at the same time. Just don't ask me how.
