這個小紅袋子里的東西就是～～～～～～～～
一隻薄荷小糖豬。這是西方過聖誕時的一個小傳統。吃過聖誕大餐后，全家人圍坐在一起，輪番講述過去這一年中的美好記憶同時憧憬來年的好運，然後拿小鎚子把袋子里的小糖豬砸一下，每講一件事就砸一下，小糖豬被砸的越碎，說明這過去和未來的一年越是美好的。最後大家把砸碎的糖分吃掉。
The Peppermint Pig
Tale Of The Peppermint Pig -- A Saratoga Christmas Tradition!
The tradition of the famous Peppermint Pig™ started ages ago in the 1880's with candy makers in Saratoga Springs NY. It's a festive way to celebrate the holidays, and the tradition is even more popular today than it was throughout its early years.
In Victorian culture, the pig represented good health, happiness and prosperity. Old fashioned candy makers fashioned the Peppermint Pigs™ each year during the holiday season. These sweet treats were made of hard peppermint candy --similar in taste and texture to a candy cane -- and appropriately colored a very festive pink!
When families gathered together at Christmas for the holiday meal, the tradition was to break the Peppermint Pig™ after dinner (inside a small cloth pouch) using a miniature hammer. All family members would then share in eating the sweet candy pieces, hoping for good fortune in the coming year.
Today, the Peppermint Pig™ remains a fun and heartwarming tradition at holiday tables all around the nation. In addition to the traditional 8-oz. Peppermint Pig™ there is also a 3-oz. Peppermint "Piglet" -- either would certainly make a sweet and memorable holiday tradition... with Victorian roots!
Though the Peppermint Pig™ is sold all over the nation, Saratoga County is its hometown, and to this day they are made nowhere else!
Where Can I Buy A Peppermint Pig?
Looking to give a unique and meaningful gift or to start a timeless family tradition this holiday season? Pick up the famous pink Peppermint Pig! It comes in a few different sizes and is available online or in local gift shops here in the Saratoga region, including Saratoga Sweets, Crafter's Gallery, Impressions of Saratoga and The Candy Co. of Saratoga. For a fun twist, you may also be able to find some Peppermint Pig 'Poop' to go along with this gift! What a great way to say, "Merry Christmas!"

- 呵呵，這小豬做的的確很精緻的，但既然有這樣已個傳統，不讓砸也說不過去呀！也許正因為如此，砸的時候才套在袋子了，不去看它的慘狀？
九畹: 不過說實話，你那小豬多可愛啊，砸了好可惜的。我要是在，一定抱著不放～不給砸
