You can shake your gift and rattle it but the heavy thud can only mean one thing, you just landed a fruitcake from someone who adores you. You know there are only maybe ten actual fruitcakes in the world they just keep getting passed around. Fruitcakes are manufactured, the joy of baking is not involved A fruitcake is the gift that is everlasting like Willy Wonkas Everlasting gobstopper, all you need to do is lick it once a day and you will have it for the rest of your ever loving life. Dont throw it away and hurt your great aunts feelings but do let her know you did put it to good use instead. Fruit cake is the gift of all gift. If youve never received a free-range, non-toxic fruit cake for Christmas start the tradition amongst your own family and friends.1. Time capsule for archeologists and future people to decide what to do with it.2. Re-gift it, pass it forward with the can of spam you received.3. Boat anchor its virtually indestructible.

That is too bad such a cake is made without love

They are probably MADE with love but not RECEIVED with love.

I have never received a fruitcake. So where you serious when you said they will last forever if you lick it once a day? I would have never ever guessed that they would last forever. Great story and if I ever receive my first fruitcake I will regift it to you Sookie.

Here's an old thread, but a fun read. Fruitcake is mentioned.<a href="https://www.nodepositforum.com/t39593263/re-giftingis-it-a-good-or-bad-thing-lol/#.U0c6UKL3KUQ" >https://www.nodepositforum.com/t39593263/re-giftingis-it-a-good-or-bad-thing-lol/#.U0c6UKL3KUQ</a>And I knew we had a thread somewhere that mentioned a specific fruitcake. Scroll down to Lunadelmar's post. She makes fruitcake sounds delicious! That particular brand anyway.<a href="https://www.nodepositforum.com/t51332291/50-halloweenthanksgiving-contest-free-to-enter-closes-11-29-/#.U0c8nKL3KUQ" >https://www.nodepositforum.com/t51332291/50-halloweenthanksgiving-contest-free-to-enter-closes-11-29-/#.U0c8nKL3KUQ</a> Funny that it's not the holidays and we're talking about fruitcake but were nuts like that around here.
