It's not that I don't appreciate the gesture, it's simply that Christmas Eve is a couple's holiday where I'm from, and Christmas Day is spent with family with even less significance. It's a foreign social-consumer holiday at best.
The cake is just a symbol of my gratitude and acknowledging the passage of time. When I first got here there were holiday themed games run by the House and decorations to match. That makes a full year for me, and I don't want to be the type of guest who loses track.
