This is a ritual at our house. It isn't Christmas time until we have made hard candy! We like using the flavors lemon, butter rum, watermelon, maple, rootbeer, and cinnamon. A warning about cinnamon though...be careful and do not put your face near it. My husband put his face over it and had to stand outside because the steam went into his pours and burnt him. -
yummy and easy :) -

I have lived in the country but presently am living in town. I am happy either way. For work, I took care of my children at the beginning of their lives and my parents at the back end of theirs. Now stay active with the grand-children. My pet peeve, trust me, we do not want to go there!
