Peppermint Pig-Symbol of Good Health, Happiness and Prosperity
Item # 88863
In Victorian Holiday Tradition, this Peppermint Pig was a symbol of good health, happiness and prosperity. This year, break this pig after your holiday dinner and share it and the good fortune it brings with your family.
In early Decembers long since past, while the quaint Victorian village of Saratoga Springs, New York, slept quietly through a chilled and moonlit eve, legend suggests that a bit of holiday magic was in the making. Behind the oaken doors of gingerbread-sized candy shops that dotted Saratoga, candy makers labored on into the night creating, and continuing, the Holiday Tradition known as the Peppermint Pig.
This Peppermint Pig is cast of hard candy, similar in fashion to the candy cane and is festive pink in color. The pig is honored in Victorian holiday tradition as a symbol of good health, happiness and prosperity. Over time, these special pigs came to stand for old-fashioned Yuletide celebrations, complete with red-cheeked children, wooden sleds gliding over fresh snow and gathering by the warm glow of the fireplace. After the holiday dinner, the pigs were broken and shared by all in the hopes of good fortune for the coming year.
Hang this Peppermint Pig ornament on your tree. After your glorious holiday dinner, take the pig down and break it into pieces so your family can share in the good health, happiness and prosperity the pig symbolizes.Retired December 1, 2001.
