Half Full by Maria Scrivan for December 08, 2021

Fruitcake is a definite yes, sweaters, maybe, wine, not on your life and napkins, who gives napkins as a gift?

Every year, around Thanksgiving, mom buys a blocked fruit cake and soaks it with rum for a week or so.

I’d eat the fruitcake, as long as it was like Mom made. Heavy, rich, fruity and never dry.

The wine bottle I got was empty, the napkins were lightly used, the sweater has ’Santa’s World Tour 2006’ on it, and the fruitcake looks like it has hieroglyphics on it!

Wine? Who regifts wine? Does wine last long enough to be regifted. So many questions.

Oh, no! Not fruit cake. Yikes. Isn’t it a modified building brick?

Don’t want your fruitcake? Give it to me! Yes, I’m stepping in as a fruitcake victim!!

If anyone gifts my wife a bottle of wine the only thing being regifted is an empty wine bottle.

Yeah, folks regifting Two Buck Chuck wine, insane.

One of my wedding gifts was from a couple we knew who had been married a few months before us. They regifted to us a kitchen thingy, and we found out because inside the box was a note that said “(Husband) we’re so excited you are getting married. We can’t wait to meet your wife.”

Hey, you forgot candles. They are my #1 re-gifted item. Oh, yeah, always unused and even unopened.

Yes, fruitcake is as hard as a brick!

Novelty clocks

you should warm up fruitcake

One of these things is not like the other. Wine.

Popular with whom?

The most popular re-gift would be the wine. Fruitcake would be the most common re-gift
