February 20, 2009: A delightful story, full of vivid detail from which one could easily form mental illustrations.

I first read A Christmas Memory some twenty years ago, but the memory just lingers... I still feel the cool autumn breeze and smell the fruitcake spices--cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, and cardamom, like when I used to bake fruitcakes with my sister. I am from the Philippines, and there's really no autumn here; neither were fruitcakes that popular at the time, because we had a lot of other native recipes and dishes esp. for Christmas including various rice cakes and delicacies(bibinka, kalamay, and puto...
