Great One Cole! Now I gotta go hunt down the AVH movie cause those spiders where too awesome. Can’t wait to watch it. I am sure I will have terrible dreams because of it.

Yes, he is the founder of Prang’s crayons (I just googled him). His name rang a bell when I read the article – I used to live off of Louis Prang Ave in Boston.

Kind of a weird question (not related to Fruitcake) – Is Louis Prang the founder of Prang crayons/art supplies???

It’s funny how an article regarding Christmas cards can get to fruitcake. So, here’s my two cents… :)

It’s the bourbon. Must have alcohol! :) Seriously, it’s really good.

If you had ever had a fruitcake from my great grandfather’s bakery, you all would be singing a different tune.

I have always believed that people that don’t like fruitcake just don’t serve it the right way. It’s best when it is cold and sliced super thin! And if you have never had a homemade fruitcake that has spent 2 weeks being constantly basted in whiskey, well friend, you are missing out!!!

Dorothy: ME TOO! I actually broadcast to everyone starting around December 1st that if anyone gets the dreaded fruitcake they can just pass it my way. The best ones are the ones in the plastic bag that are so wet and dense it’s like eating a soggy gummy-bear-filled brick. MAN. I eat almost nothing but fruitcake from Christmas to Valentine’s Day. Probably why I expand so much in those months :)

I think I must be the only person in the whole country who actually LOVES fruitcake. This year I had to go out and buy one myself because nobody sent me one! I just don’t get what all the hate is about, really. Cake, fruit, nuts – what’s not to like?

The question is, who sent the first Christmas fruitcake? I’d gotten in in ’79, and passed it to my aunt, who later told me she gave it a woman she worked with. Haven’t heard anything about it since.
