As well as being naturally dressed in festive colours, it is believed to bring good luck if you eat an apple on Christmas Eve. Also If you slice an apple in 1/2 on Xmas day and it reveals a star, you will have health & happiness for the year ahead. Some also believe you can use the pips on St Thomas Eve to foretell a wedding.

Juniper is wonderful & not just because of gin: the branches offer protection & at midwinter, if you dream of picking the berries, there’ll be prosperity ahead. People once offered bread to the tree to encourage the tree spirit to heal small children.
At one time people would also pick an apple at harvest & save it to eat at the midwinter solstice to bring health.

The beings known as the Nisse in Norway & Denmark, Tomte in Swedish & Tontuu in Finnish were small, powerful creatures. They were quite scary & did not like to be slighted/teased. They were rewarded for their service to the farm at Christmas with special rice porridge & beer. Eventually there was less need for a guardian spirit for the farm, so they became friendlier & took over some nicer Christmas functions.

Fish is important in many European Christmas meals including the Italian Feast of the 7 Fishes & the Carp tradition in the Czech Republic. Carp was purchased to eat for the Christmas Eve meal & scales of the fish were placed under plates on that evening to ensure health & prosperity. It was also said that if you carried a scale from the Carp eaten at Christmas in your pocket, you would have a year’s good fortune

The Ceremony of the Christmas Cheeses is celebrated by Chelsea Pensioners annually by cutting a large cheese in honour of a cheesemaker who supplied cheese to feed the war veterans over the 1692 festive period. Cheese has been donated every year since by cheese companies all over the UK.

Wassailing takes place around Christmas time in the apple producing counties: for a good harvest, cake soaked in cider is put at the foot of a tree & cider is poured round. Toasts are made to the tree & shotguns fired. This is intended to drive away evil spirits & wake the spirit of the tree into life for a new year.

On this day I feel I must present saffron buns which are baked for St Lucia Day in several Scandinavian countries. These buns - (Lussekatter) are supposed to resemble cat’s tails wrapped around each other. St Lucia is celebrated as a symbol of light in the dark of the year.
