A Christmas Gift
It's Christmas, all merry and joyful
In me, the goodies are plentiful
If you know what's in me,
you'll get three,
with another for free
A third is yellow, with spikes for protection,
A third is red, with its seeds like perspiration,
A third is purle, with bitter peels as protection,
They're for Jesus' favourites, they say
But they're even on gingerbread house roofs that play
They're all sweet and tasty
But they might give you cavities, ouchy
They come from country of islands
near the most populous land
So go ahead and guess
or all you'll get is a mess!!!
So, what goodies are inside me??
(Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year
to everyone ^^)

Sugar...?
It sounds like it is describing the Durian fruit:
Spiky on the outside (often yellow), large seeds (red), and an edible flesh. It's smell is fairly potent, and some describe it as body odor.
Durian fruit is very sweet and has lots of sugar. It is often used as a sweetener or for flavoring treats in SE Asia.
I don't really see many of these in North America, outside of Asian supermarkets, or Thai or Filipino restaurants.

Sounds right Cam ... I never heard of durian fruit.
The new range of M&Ms....
