这个小红袋子里的东西就是～～～～～～～～
一只薄荷小糖猪。这是西方过圣诞时的一个小传统。吃过圣诞大餐后，全家人围坐在一起，轮番讲述过去这一年中的美好记忆同时憧憬来年的好运，然后拿小锤子把袋子里的小糖猪砸一下，每讲一件事就砸一下，小糖猪被砸的越碎，说明这过去和未来的一年越是美好的。最后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!
