I always got chewing gum, Hershey bars, and tangerines in my stocking every year as a kid...and a silver dollar, as well. To this day I will go grocery shopping around this time of year and bring back a load of tangerines---and eat everyone of them...my wife thinks I am crazy (guess I am) but they bring back wonderful memories.

You know I'm just playing around.

Speaking of playing around, where's MGDfan been?

 

We usually got an orange, one of those really big peppermint sticks and a couple of small toys.

 

Yeah, I knew you were, me too. I was wondering the same thing about MGDfan. Careful, he'll get the mistaken idea he was missed!

 

Maybe he switched to Budweiser and can't change his S/N.

 

Yeah, better watch for Budfan or Buschfan.

 

Yep, forgot about the peppermint. For awhile, we got that ribbon candy too, till they figured out that we didnt like the stuff.

 

I love ribbon candy!! It's getting almost impossible to find anymore though

 

Yuck!

 

My grandma used to always send us this brick sized fruitcake every year. The thing looked just like a brick. I think it was the same one every year. The same brick, every year. You know, the exact same one every year. It looked just like a brick. The holiday cheer brick of fruitcake.

 

My Mom made a fruit cake that was actually very good, but it was cakey, not a brick at all. Those brick ones are heavy!

 

I know. I think Santa's house is made of those.

 

Damn, there goes my idea for your Christmas present...

 

I've heard people make fun of fruitcakes my entire life. They're the butt of a lot of jokes. I don't get it. I love fruitcakes!
