hmmmm... need to get round to making some of those pies. the fruit mince ones. those were always, in my opinion, the best christmas food.

me family doesn't really have christmas food. wasn't something done - christmas that is. but just cos we don't do easter doesn't mean we can't eat hot cross buns.

mince pies were a bit like that. you could only buy them november-febuary (ie. a whole quater of the year). so you made a habit of eating many when they were 'in season'. need to make some of those.
