I'll take even the cheapo kind from Walmart but the best are fruitcakes with a little rum in them. I've never understood this blind hatred against the noble fruitcake as I think they're one of the best traditions of Christmas.

Why did fruitcakes get such a bad rap? Is it because of their shelf life? After all alcohol is a preservative......yummy and nothing
like a warm buzz during the holidays!!

eggnog. You're talking some serious calories there. I'm nuts I guess because i also love broccoli and Brussels spouts. That's what I hate about taking warfarin you have to limit your intake of Vitamin K.
