the reason mince pies have fruit in them is because during like the medieval times, meats and chickens and stuff were really expensive and this was mid winter so around that time, people were fast running out of their meat stocks which is why they used fruit preserves because they were much cheaper and lasted longer so they could freely use them in the winter - mince pies did originally have mince meat in them though, hence the name

Have never heard of the prune and bacon thing until this year and I keep hearing about it! Was weirdly wondering this year whether Americans had two turkey holidays. We do say Merry Christmas. They are called Advent Calendars. They are normal stockings, but presents aren't wrapped.

I’m from New Zealand and as a little kid we would always leave beer out for Santa along with biscuits or something and we would leave carrots for the reindeer. Nobody leaves huge Christmas lights just small little ones and we don’t have egg nog and since we don’t have thanksgiving we eat turkey and ham on Christmas. Also most people go shopping on Boxing Day and yes we love Band aid. I could go on for ages but I don’t really want to so if you have any questions about kiwi christmas just reply and ask and I’ll answer.

Evan thinks that the Angel is religious but a star is just as equally religious! You put the start on your tree to symbolise the star above the stable. (tho as Connie said, nobody really does it for religion anymore)

Queen Elizabeth, a woman of serious low-church piety, is said to prefer “happy” to “merry” because she dislikes “merry’s” connotation of boisterousness, even slight intoxication.

i have an annual mandella effect at my house at christmas, because every year i think "oh the trees all decorated, time to put the star on the top" and we dont put a star at the top, we have a paper angel, yet every year for some reason i think that my family puts a silver wire outline star on top of our tree that glitters in the twinkling lights of the tree itself, but every year its that angel and i'm always confused.

My family and I always do our Secret Santa presents on Christmas Eve. It's so fun! Everyone gets the other one present. We have an even number of people in my family (6), so we always put our names into a hat on Thanksgiving and pick our Secret Santa for the year. I've gotten my brother three years in a row haha!

I genuinely said this year 'it's the coca cola advert. It's Christmas!!' and I quote 😂😂

A tradition I’ve carried on from my parents is to leave one present on the bottom of the kids bed to open before coming downstairs to open the rest of our presents. If we woke too early & there was no present we knew to try & sleep some more. Stopped us getting up at 3am 🤣

I got the sock joke, Evan. I got the sock joke.

I was in a Christmas pantomime once. I was 11 and sneezy the dwarf in snow white. it was me and 6 other girls my age as the dwarves and we all had fake beards and they were SO ITCHY. best and most uncomfortable week of my life 😂

The gift in the Christmas pudding has GOT to be taken from barán brack 😂

I have never ever heard of Christmas starts when the coke ad starts 😂. It's usually at the end of November for the start of advent really. We definitely do a Christmas walk it helps with digestion I think really
