Holiday Fruit Cakes

This gifting thing just reminds me so much of those horrible holiday fruit cakes that keep getting re-gifted and re-gifted. They may be well intended, but no one wants a stale old fruit cake which is just as likely to give you a chipped tooth as a wicked case of the runs. :-)

Now my mom used to bake a fresh and delicious fruit/nut cake that my dad would set a fire with brandy just before serving. Those were good flaming fruit cakes!
