THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

This would never air on network TV today. It’s not politically correct, doesn’t have enough diversity, doesn’t mention Kwanzaa, does mention Christ as the reason, and doesn’t honor consumption and materialism – the true purpose of Christmas today. Make sure you see the feel good movie of the season – Black Annie – because the original Annie was racist.

Christmas is staying up until 3AM to make cookies and pies.

Got my cookies made earlier this week and spend two days hauling plastic baggies full with a ribbon on ’em around the neighborhood. Last one delivered today! We have so many lovely and caring people living here in this community I don’t ever have to stand at the bottom of the drive way and yell, “Hey, in there! I’m coming up with cookies!” I had to turn down so many snacks, coffees, hot chocolates and got hugged so many times, my back is sore! I was offered beer at three different places at 10AM! My kind of town!

Jim, sorry, I skipped the first post today (I remember the original) out of not wanting to spend my eve of anything with those visions. What we should do is submit a bid to the City of Philadelphia for a contract to burn and level and haul off the 30 blocks, cultivate it and replant it all with flowers and put a few filtered creeks in for atmosphere and carbon reduction.

You and yours and everyone on TBP (you too Smokey and AWD – wherever you may be!) live well, laugh often and if you don’t have a sweetie, find someone to love.

Your very grateful for TBP MA

All my life I thought fruitcake was some sort of punishment sort of like coal in a kid’s stocking. I’ve long had a teory that there are only a handful of fruitcakes in the world and people just keep re-gifting them to others who keep the re-gifting tradition alive. Fruitcake generally tastes like something that would make a billy goat puke.

A couple of years ago my boss’s mother (they’re both born in Scotland) made some fruitcake and my boss offered me a slice. I told him my opinion of fruitcake and he said I’d like it so I tried it. Wow! This stuff was incredible! It had a faint resemblance to fruitcake but did not smell or taste anything like the loaves of ill-will I was familiar with. The flavor reminded me of a fine brandy or port and it is tender and moist. This year his mom made me whole loaves of my own. Our puppy we got last Christmas is a better gift but this Scottish fruitcake is a close second!

IS,

I’m not a dessert guy like Stucky, and fruit cake is on the bottom of my list also. When in college and poor, we made homemade gifts for friends.One year we made Borsh soup, and fruit cake like pound cake with dried apricots, cashews, and brandy. Both were big hits..
