Puckmugger’s Strange Christmas (or holiday) Traditions Write Off
Strange Traditions?
Yes folk, you read that correctly. This is the place to share your odd holiday tradition. Do you open all your Christmas presents on the roof? Do you go bowling annually on New Year’s eve? Have you always wrapped gifts using butcher paper? Do you set up your tree in the shower?
Let us all get a laugh at your expense by sharing the odd thing you do to celebrate the holidays. It’s a great time of tradition and most families put their own little wrinkle on the holidays. Maybe your tradition isn’t bizarre, but different. That would be great as well. As long as what you share isn’t run of the mill, it should be good reading. Of course feel free to post your Chanukah and New Year’s traditions as well.
What inspired this?
Well, admittedly, I started a family tradition about 12 years ago when I decided to buy my sister a fruitcake as a gag. I attached the following note to the fruitcake:
OH NO!
You’ve received the “DREADED FRUITCAKE!”
You are probably asking yourself right now,
The dreaded fruitcake, do I have to eat it?
Of course you don’t, I’m not that cruel. Holy Cow!
If you need a doorstop, I hear you can’t beat it.
But if you’d rather get rid of this object so foul,
Here is the rules list. I’d suggest that you read it:
1. If you do not eat the “Dreaded Fruitcake” You must give it away at Christmas. (I highly recommend waiting a year to consuming the foul and evil object.
2. It is a good idea to give the “Dreaded Fruitcake” to:
a. A telemarketer
b. A neighbor with annoying pets
c. A relative who you had a hard time shopping for
d. Someone who you want to hear say, “OH NO! It’s the “Dreaded Fruitcake!”
3. If you decide to actually eat the “Dreaded Fruitcake” without a strong laxative handy may God have mercy on your eternal soul.
4. You can under no circumstance give the “Dreaded Fruitcake” back to the person who gave it to you unless:
a. It is accompanied by the gift of an automobile.
b. You intend to eat the fruitcake with that person (they need not participate)
c. They laughed when giving it to you and said, “Muhahah, you deserve fruitcake because you smell like cheese.”
Since then, the fruitcake has made its way through the family finally arriving back at me this year. It still makes everyone laugh to see who gets the fruitcake. Surprisingly, it hasn’t been lost and has found a victim each year. That's my story. So what is yours?
