25th December: Merry Christmas!

For our final dish, on Christmas Day, we have a candle. Arnold has agreed to supervise, so that we can light it!

Sometimes candles are used to countdown the days or weeks to Christmas. Candles can be made of wax or fat, perfumed or not, but they all give off light, which is an important feature of mid-winter festivals. When we’re all missing the sun a bit, it’s a message that the light will come back again!

And so, we wish you all a Merry and Peaceful Christmas, with snacks galore!
