Christmas is just around the corner and I am looking forward to giving and receiving presents and goodies. If there is one thing though that i do not want to receive this year or the succeeding Christmases of my life, it would be fruitcakes (and coffee mugs, but that would be another story)! I just hate it. I know there are people out there who will claim that they crave for and love the rum-laced loaf but I have yet to meet someone who actually bought one for his own consumption. I can't help but think that whoever invented this foodstuff designed it as a product to be given away rather than eaten.
I still wonder how and why fruitcakes became a very popular gift idea at Christmastime when nobody seems to take pleasure in eating it or get excited when receiving it as a present. During this time of the year, bakeshops and supermarkets offer a a wide variety of fruitcakes, from sugar-free to ones covered with frosting. The choices are just overwhelming. And I am so confused! If people truly like fruitcake how come it is not a regular fare at restaurant dessert menus? Or why is there no bakeshop that sell fruitcakes all year round?
Whatever the answers to these questions may be, i do not care. I don't like fruitcakes and don't want to receive them as presents. I am posting this article at PayPerPost so that you would know. And so that i could earn a few bucks to buy my friends decent gifts other than fruitcakes.
