Perfect time for Mincemeat pie!

Mince pies are a favorite food of Father Christmas. Children leave one or two mince pies on a plate at the foot of the chimney (along with a small glass of brandy, sherry or milk, and a carrot for the reindeer) as a thank you for filling their stockings.

When making Mince, only stir the mincemeat mixture clockwise because stirring it counterclockwise is bad luck for the upcoming year. It’s traditional to make a wish while eating the first mince pie of the season. Always eat mince pies in silence. It is also believed that eating a mince pie each day of the 12 days of Christmas is good luck for the upcoming year. Mince pies should have a star on top, depicting the Christmas star that led the Magi and Shepherds to baby Jesus.
