Dear Fonseca
My husband brought home several fruitcakes this past weekend. He says we're going to give them to friends and family at Christmas. I told him you can't give anyone fruitcake because no one likes it. He then asked why stores sell it then. He thinks it's a great gift. I disagree. Can you ask your listeners what they think? I'm sure they will agree with me because no one likes fruitcake and it is not an appropriate gift to give during the holidays.
