The Christmas Story

Luke 2: 8-14 -- And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them: And they were sore afraid . . .

And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Kentucky Color: Christmas Eve, 1935, Fruit Cake

Comments re: Columbia Cash Store advertisement from Dec. 24, 1935

By Billy Joe Fudge

I could not help but notice, cause that's what I do best it seems, that Fruit Cake was the most expensive item on the list. It was some four times more expensive than the sirloin steak. Relatively speaking, that would mean that a one pound Fruit Cake would be over $30 this Christmas, 2022.

On another note and with no malice toward those who are Fruit Cake connoisseurs, I believe the last Fruit Cake I tasted was left over from Christmas Eve, 1935!
