Checkout this Cherry Biscotti Recipe.  It may not sound so wonderful yet (as it is early October), but lend me your imagination for minute.

It's a cold December, you and your family are nestled in for Christmas.  Instead of getting 10 pounds of fruitcake, you only got 9 pounds and that nifty relative of yours "Bammed" it up a notch with some Cherry Biscotti.  This goes great with cocoa, coffee and egg nog.

Don't be a fruitcake!  Try this recipe.
