What to do with the fruitcake.
Did you ever get a fruitcake for Christmas?
Did your ever pass(re-gift) it to someone else?
I may have not ever received a fruitcake as a gift, but I had numerous of knick knack gifts that ended up in a box of forget me nots.
I am sure that I have given my share of disappointing gifts over the years, but it goes to show what happens when consumerism takes over the holiday season.
I wonder if there is only one fruitcake in existence that just keeps getting passed on person to person - year to year?
I just have to say, have a great and safe holiday season to everyone.
I hope you get that fancy doohickey gift thingy that you need to make your truck merry and bright.

I don't know how fruit cakes became a joke.
I love fruit cake.
Yes, it's heavy. But yes, it's good, too.
The local favorite is Claxton Fruit Cake made in Claxton, GA. Must sell tons of them every year around Christmas.

Just do not hit anyone in the head with a fruitcake or drop it on your foot. Bones could be broken that way.

I have received fruitcake for Christmas only a couple of times. It is common knowledge in our family that all fruit cakes go to my step dad. He loves those things, I dont know why but he is the only one. So every year he ends up with 15+ fruitcakes and you couldnt find a happier person in the world if you tried.

My mom always used to make a no-bake fruitcake. The "dough" was ground-up graham crackers, dates and raisins to make kind of a paste. Then the gumdrops, whole raisins, dates, nuts and candied fruit were added. Next it was all pressed into small bread tins (as a mold) and then left in a fridge to age for about a month. Yummy.

I follow the Jim Gaffigan philosophy which goes as follows:
Fruit = Good
Cake = Great
Fruitcake = Nasty crap
