January has arrived and we are all looking for an alternative to the festive mince pie. In 1783, William Pitt’s government was nicknamed after the temporary mince pie. Find out if this nickname was deserved👇 @GeorgianLords http://ow.ly/LKGV50LV0gV

Who else will be eating mince pies well into January because you can get them at half price?
Happy New Year everyone! Our pick of December: read about the origins of our Christmas traditions; about why the mince pie is not universally loved; and why the run up to Christmas can leave people feeling miserable. Our last article is about Covid in children, is the goverment doing enough to protect our children? #bylines #Christmas #BahHumbug #MincePie #Covid #Ventilation #CleanAir https://northwestbylines.co.uk/advent/a-look-back-at-north-west-bylines-december-2022/

William Pitt the Younger became Prime Minister in 1783. His Administration was nicknamed the 'Mince Pie Administration' with predictions that it wouldn't outlast the Christmas season. Find out if the nickname was deserved👇 http://ow.ly/LKGV50LV0gV

Sammy (Greater London, UK) managed to get a lick of one of the mince pies. So far the jury seems to be out on whether these are edible, but at the very least Sammy thinks they aren’t as good as cat treats.

#JoinIn merry Christmas 🎅 had the chat with my 9 year old son about the truth with Santa!! It was difficult, buy he knew the score. Was this the right time? When did you have the talk? We thought we could drag it out gor a few more years but he was asking a few questions last year. This year he accused santa of breaking in and robbing the mince pie and milk,! 😄 #santaisnotreal #Christmas #Santa #mincepie

For anyone who feels that they've eaten too much, here is a
Carol for #ChristmasDay at Night: An anonymous 17thC #ballad carol describing many of the foods eaten at Christmas.
From New #Christmas #Carols, 1662.
In common with many #broadsideballads, this carol appear with lyrics but no music. Instead, instructions are given for the choice of melody - in this case, the popular tune, #Greensleeves.
