Eddie gave him a look at the question. "Of course they do. It's delicious." He said before making a face. "But only if you know where to get it from." He understood the confusion. Christmas movies seemed to love to poke fun at fruitcake. It always wound up being the desert no one wanted to eat. The gift that was terrible. Eddie would argue that the person writing these movies had just had the wrong experience with the treat. This was going to be Stan's first experience with it. Eddie didn't want him scarred for life after coming across some bad, prepackaged fruitcake. Not only would it put Stan off the stuff but he would probably strike out with his girlfriend's family.
All thought of fruitcake and the other things he could teach Stan left him as the other man began to explain a little of the history of Hanukkah to him. It was actually pretty interesting and Eddie found himself hanging on Stan's words, giving this his full attention. "It makes sense now." He'd wondered about the whole eight nights thing. It had seemed a little long for a celebration. If Stan hadn't already explained it he probably would've asked about it later. Now he didn't have to. "Okay, so, what do I need?" He asked. He probably should've asked if Stan had the time to teach him but Samantha had assured him that school had already let out for their holiday break.
"The, uh, client I'm attempting to impress has already decided to sign me up to lead a few activities." He explained. "So I need a little practical knowledge. I need to know how to participate." He'd have to know how to light the menorah, what to say, and in what order. He had to learn about foods and how to prepare them. He'd probably need to buy a few things but he hadn't thought that far ahead. He wasn't even sure where you got these things from. If they focused on Hanukkah, they could switch gears tomorrow and Eddie could teach Stan a little about Christmas. Maybe they'd make a day of it and he could take him to the little Christmas market that popped up every year. Finding the perfect tree would have to wait until the weekend.
