I do not know who started this or when they first named December 24 as ' National fruitcake Day ' . I read about it in the carrier Pigeon , a monthly free magazine that I receive last year.. Check out www.theuptightsuburbanite.com. It is interesting to see that they have something for each day of the month of December . Subscribe to my blog or follow me if you wish to be reminded of all the interesting holiday.
