    Hi Kev,

    I forgot to add I usually will get a frozen Mrs. Field's pie of some sort for dessert for Christmas dinner. If I'm going to destroy my supposed diet, I'm going to go all the way!

    Yes, pies at Christmas are a must. My grocery store (HEB) usually has
    smaller 8" pumpkin pies and I pick one of those up and a small
    container of whipped cream. It only lasts a few days LOL

    I remember HEB ("huge enormous butt" LOL). It was a very nice store to shop in.

    I like all sorts of pie so I'll just grab whatever's there at the time if it's frozen but if it's in the deli, I'll ask if they have any pumpkin pie hiding out. Whipped cream is a must.

    I will make a no-bake cheesecake if I mess up and am too late to get a pie in stock.

    The hardest part was digging through my cupboards to find my pie pan.

    If not that, some ice cream would be good too.

    Our family always associated Pumpkin pie with Thanksgiving, likely
    because pumpkins are harvested around that time.

    Christmas was Christmas Fruit Cake time.. no comment on how popular
    that Really was though.. B)

    Mine did as well though it was more closely aligned with autumn in my
    family.

    I have had some very good homemade fruitcake. It's the factory-made ones
    that are good for doorstops!

    For me, the worst part of the dense version are the red and
    green bits in it. Candied cherries? Most of the time they
    seemed to introduce a bitterness, as I recall.

    I've had other properly made versions laced with liberal amount
    of bourbon. That was quite palatable.

    Yes, although my mother finally got tired of making it when there was
    just the two of us there at Christmas and she would buy one but then
    make Plum Pudding sauce to put on it which helped it out a lot.. B)

    There are various degrees of that, some dry and hard and some more
    like cherry bits in white cake. I found the lighter one wasn't
    that bad and, as mentioned elsewhere, we started putting Christmas
    Plum Pudding sauce on it as well which helped a Lot.. B)

    My grandmother was locally famous in her small town for making
    Christmas Cake for friends and restaurants and such. She apparently
    put a Lot of some type of booze in hers, and probably a lot of that
    ended up in the cook as well.. B)

    I think the accent was Scottish if I heard it correctly.

    That said, any 'accents' amongst my relatives tend to be French

    It might have been in a commercial, but where many will remember it from is from the Pink Floyd song "Another Brick in the Wall (Pt. 2)" -- the "we
    don't need no education" song. ;) It is one of the things that the teacher/ school master is yelling at the children as the song fades out.

    Gave the tune a recent spin. I had forgotten about the

    I only ever heard it the odd time on the radio. I never owned one
    of their albums, although I thought a lot of their music was good.
    I just never got into record collecting, or tapes for that matter.
    And I own only one music CD that I didn't make myself, and I got
    it for free somewhere.. B)

    I think I have about 40 albums from a lifetime of not buying
    very often, and a large number of the ones I have came from one
    purchase from one of those record 'Deals' where for a super low
    price you get 15 records if you agree to buy 5 more or some such..

    I did that, and then cancelled it once I bought the 5..
