Ho-Ho-Ho, Gene! This makes me think of Mom, the only person I ever knew who REALLY loved fruitcake and rum sauce--especially with a glass of Scotch and water on the side. ;)
Sounds bleak: from Dickens Bleak House. It is a very difficult time of the year for most people. Don't believe the hype. Suicide rates sky rocket at Christmas. We here have notheing to do our respective families; too nutty and or dangerous for our taste. Instead we have pajama days and watch old movies and read or have a glass of something hot. This year we treated ourselves to a concert, Handel's Messiah, dinner with friends and a bottle of Absinth; legal in Canada. Hang in there friend, this too was meant to pass.

This brings back memories of drinking more than I should and a fruitcake that I want but can't find anymore. I don't remember what company made it either. Now that the juices are flowing, maybe I'll seek again. What is it they say, "Seek and you shall find."
I knew a Jamican fruitcake once, all liquored on white rum sauce too, man! Gosh, that sounds good. I am glad you posted this. I wonder if there is a recipe?
By the way, Gene, as far as your energy level goes, you write circles around me. Like your writing, you are timeless, and destined to be a classic someday!
Fruitcake? Jamaican or anykind?? Altho I have had a homemade fruitcake that was mainly like a poundcake with tons of nuts and some fruit...but it was delicious...too bad the lady who made it died before I could get the recipe!! Cute write tho... (bet you thought I'd never get to that..hehe...) hugs, lindalaw
Oh he's gonna be smashed by the time he gets here, I better have the hot coffee ready huh? So cute Gene just like you! Love and hugs and Merry Christmas my dear friend. Love and hugs, Bonnie
Christmas - only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America. All is calm, all is bright, and yet there is something tragically wrong about this Christmas night.
With swift passage thr
Happy Holidays to you and your family, Gene,
Peace, love, and light,
