What a pair indeed. Who knew there were 2 days in January that celebrated these topics. On January 12th the obscure holiday community got to celebrate"Fruitcake Toss Day". What a fun holiday, who wouldn't mind launching that annual holiday doorstop in to the air never to return?
Well if you did not receive a fruitcake as a gift, you probably made your own or bought one in the store. For the ones who received it as a gift or bought one, why didn't you celebrate with making your own to launch on this day.
