Festive Homemade Holiday Fruitcake I think this poll might be flawed ... they NEVER asked me! Besides, the are many worse gifts that one might receive, like a hardened brick of fruitcake. Cheers!

I like fruit cake!

Don’t drink anymore, but I wouldn’t scoff at a good bottle back in the day

I love a good bottle of whiskey or scotch. The best gift for me since I rarely buy any for myself. But around the holidays..bring it on!

I like alcohol.

I like alcohol as a Christmas gift.

BTW, I drink gin, scotch, and bourbon.

Email me for brand preference.

You’ve obviously never tried a Collin Street Bakery Fruitcake. It’s nothing like those budget monstrosities.

Maybe I hang out with the wrong crowd. But everybody I know loves alcoholic beverages as Christmas gifts.

If someone had gifted me a half-gallon of Kahlua, it’d be a red-letter day! That stuff’s very pricey. Kahlua and cream over hard ice goes down like water! Yum!

Well cheap crappy alcohol like that in the picture sure. The thing with booze is if the person you’re giving it to is a drinker they know immediately how you value the relationship, and if they aren’t why the hell are you giving them booze.

Every year, we have a huge Christmas party at home for our employees and friends. They always bring us tons of alcohol, of which we drink very little. During the subsequent year, when visiting the homes of those same friends and family, we re-gift the alcohol to them - a little at a time. By the end of the year, things are about even.

No net gain to the economy, but it's the thought that counts. :)

I'll take the fruitcake please. I've quit going over to my sister's house for Christmas Eve because of the excessive drinking by my sister and her in-laws. They drink heavily through the night.

After a few hours they, all hardcore libs, start yammering about evil Republicans. Some are just exceptionally obnoxious without the political talk.

Alcohol is a good gift. When we have a party, we have everything that we need to serve people what they want.

My Dad mailed me a fifth of Jim Beam (unauthorized at the time), disguised in a glass syrup bottle for Christmas,when I was stationed in Germany in 1972.

Through transit, the bottle had leaked.

When it got to the mailroom it was evident by smell of it's contents, which my Dad had declared as "shaving lotion".

My 1st Sergeant handed it to me with a wink and advised not to drink all the "shaving lotion at once.

Well shoot, I just wasted 75 bucks on scotch for my dad then. Better tell him to be prepared for disappointment, usually he loves it but what does he know. :/

My mother and my ex-husband both died (young) of alcohol-related failure, so I am not my of a drinker; nor is my husband. Would prefer other items as gifts, even a good fruitcake. But alcohol does seem to be popular, such as at our office gift exchange.

I disagree. I think lottery tickets are absolutely the worst gifts ever.

“Here you go, Timmy. Here’s a lottery ticket that could win you millions! Ain’t I a generous guy?”

“C’mon, Uncle Bubba! That thing cost you all of $2.00. Thanks a lot, you cheap sonofa... - and I’ll take back that bottle of Wild Turkey you just cracked open at TEN THIRTY in the morning, you drunk!”
