Christmas Cake

What a surprise! I opened a big white box with a bright yellow bow and card on it. To my surprise...there was Christmas cake lying on a bed. The quilt was made with red and green square blocks. The marshallowy pillows had little red and green decorations. Now I have my cake and I can eat it too! Unique gift ...and I love it.
