Susan Mallery | I Like...

I like fruitcake. Yes, there it is. I’ve said it in public. I like it. It’s
cake with fruit and nuts, which means it’s practically a health food. If my
slice is big enough, it should count for at least two of the nine fruit and
vegetable servings I’m supposed to have in a day. There’s enough sugar to keep
me wired for at least two hours. Where’s the bad?

I also like wrapping presents. I have a ritual…I wait until everything is
bought, then stack them by the table, get out all my wrapping supplies, put in
the original Star Wars movie and wrap. I actually try to match the right
wrapping paper to the gift or the person, I use all kinds of ribbons and little
toys on the packages. Some years I’m done in two movies, but most it takes me
all three. I wipe up the last of the glitter just as the wookies are doing the
happy dance at the end of the third movie.
