National Fruitcake Day
Didn't this year, but I love getting the fruitcake from Costco, dousing it
with rum and let it sit a week before eating it. OMGOOD!!!
It is very appropriate for National
Fruitcake Day to be celebrated shortly after Christmas. Once the holidays are
over, it's time to get rid of your fruitcake. Giving a fruitcake is a Christmas
tradition for many. It is also believed that recipients will re-wrap the
fruitcake and give it to someone else. Who knows how many years, or decades, a
fruitcake has been passed along? Ultimately, the trick is to make sure you give
away the fruitcake before the holiday season is through. Otherwise, you get the
joy of storing it, until the next fruitcake-giving season.
On National Fruitcake Day, those with a sweet tooth can celebrate by
eating a slice or two. Otherwise, we suggest you use this day to give your
fruitcake to someone....anyone.
