Jeri DanskyHard Candy Christmas — sung by Dolly Parton
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

a/k/a ginger 🍵...🎶🌻@jeridansky Can't go wrong with Dolly either! I don't think I've heard this one. Is that a thing, a known phrase -- a hard candy Christmas?
@tc_morekindness The song comes from the movie Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
The phrase "hard candy Christmas" refers to a time when families who did not have much money could only afford to give hard candy or penny candy (bulk confectionery) to their children at Christmas.

@jeridansky Thank you for looking it up. Boy, Dolly's been in so many things.
