6 December – Christmas Countdown

It’s a lovely story and last year not long before Christmas my friends came round for a little festive evening of drinks and snacks, and one of them loves quizzes, she brought round a box of quizzes and it was all about Christmas and my question was where did St Nicholas come from? I replied Turkey, but her next comment made me giggle, ‘is that why we eat turkeys at Christmas’ she said innocently, I think many people are unaware that their Christmas meal comes from North America! I must add I love the music that accompanies your advent videos Claire, when I click on the link and hear it’s melody I always see the great lofty hall at Hampton court decorated with boughs of greenery and holly, and see Henry Viii with his sweetheart Anne Boleyn amidst the meet company.
