Everyone waits for that magic time of the year, no matter how old they are or how they feel the magic of Christmas inside. The Christmas wreath waits to be put at the door and the Christmas tree waits to be decorated and to take its special place in the living room. The Christmas wreath is related to the Advent wreath which is original from the folk German customs. The Germans used to light fires using wreath of fir or pine as a sign of hope in the cold nights of December. Later, the Christians kept this tradition alive. Mince pies and pudding are traditional foods on Christmas holidays. Mince pies or Christmas pies are prepared in people’s houses since old times. Once they were baked in a larger cook shape resembling the crib where Jesus Christ was born. The shape and the content of mince pies have changed over the time giving the fact that people try every year new recipes and ingredients. The plum pie on the other hand is believed to have origins in the medieval period. It was introduced at his royal table by Prince Albert and that’s how it entered the Christmas tradition.
