Christmas is full of tradition, symbolism, and mythology. There are rituals handed down over generations, and new customs begin with family and friends.
One of the more ancient traditions is the, sometimes lauded and often dreaded, Christmas Fruit Cake. (And no – I’m not referring to crazy aunt Mable)
Believe it or not, fruitcake has an interesting history covering over 2 millennia. And, even today there a some who still propagate the fruit cake tradition during the holidays.
If you receive one – do so graciously (even if you will never eat it).
If you are among those who are anti fruitcake – no worries – just give it to someone else.
Either way, rest assured the fruitcake will be around for a long time to come because the sincere sentiment of some traditions will never go out of style.
