Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sorry, Fay, we really don't. But we do have pumpkin pie, so I think we're okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So what's up with the saving the top layer of the wedding cake custom here then?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's not for a separate occasion! I mean, it's for a later date, obviously, but the same Event.

I blame the kind of "fruitcake" made by Claxton Fruit Cake [link] for most of fruit cake's bad reputation. It's bad quality candied fruit smushed together into a horrifying sticky block. I've been to Claxton, Ga., and the sign when you enter the town says: "Welcome to Claxton, the Fruit Cake Capital of the World"

Its in a freezer, you pull it out a year later, you scrape off the freezerburn and take a bite, you giggle, you throw the thing away.
You don't re-ice the thing and serve it to guests.
The Gerrys aren't a problem these days either, you know that, right?

ION, I just realized why I've thought it must be bedtime for hours already: Watching several hours of Law & Order when it's already dark out.

Christmas Cake! You people don't have Christmas Cake?
Honey, my traditional ideal Xmas involves biscocho (a dry crumbly mexican anise cookie,) peperkokr ( a thin swedish spice cookie,) luminarias (votives in paper bags around the sidewalks,) quiche on Xmas Eve, spanish chorals, swedish braided sweet bread, tamales and the seasonal sweet tamales (raisins, cinnamon, pecans and UMMMM, so freaking good.) I'm a USian, but a southwestern USian of midwestern descent. Fruitcake is an import!

Swedish braided bread! We do that too!
Oh, everyone should know: the fruitcake from Anne was heaaaaaaavenly. I want to marry her now if my Mother doesn't get her first. I have a little bit left and I'll have it tomorrow night with coffee.

In other ridiculous news, this afternoon I ate a Ring Pop with a light inside (from my stocking), and the damn thing is STILL BLINKING! I'm going to have to wrap it in a bag and hide it in the bottom of the trash.
