Claxton fruitcake was a tradition in my house growing up.

It killed me when fruitcake started to become a joke to some people. It damaged the economy in Claxton GA and made Claxton fruitcakes hard to find.

They are quite easy to find if you live down here in the south.

I see them in gas stations even.

I think the fruitcake jokes were just the start of the whole "anti-Christmas PC thing" that's been permeating our society for the past couple of decades.
