I remember that it was late fall of 1985, and we lived in Waco, Texas. On a grocery run the week of Thanksgiving, Ma brought home these goofy looking cakes.
The now legendary Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. Looking at them, I didn't think they'd be much different than the basic Little Debbie baked treat. After all, it was common knowledge among us Latchkey Kids that Little Debbie was the cost-cutting way of putting something in your lunch of the cake or cookie variety.
The Christmas Tree Cake, after decades of munching on them, has become a comfort food, and I've learned I'm not the only one who feels this way.

That's right. Somehow you always feel a little better during the holidays with one of these seasonal treats. They've been around forever. And Lord Willing, will continue to be. Be advised however, that you'll be accountable for the few extra pounds they add to you by the new year.
