Stir Up Sunday
28/11/2008 by admin.
The last Sunday before Advent - also known as Stir-Up Sunday - is traditionally the time to get the Christmas pudding made, allowing plenty of time for the flavours to develop before it is enjoyed on Christmas Day.
Advent Sunday is the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day. This is equivalent to the Sunday nearest to St Andrew’s Day, 30 November, which this year falls on November 30th itself.
It is the day when the family gathers around the kitchen table to start making the season’s Christmas pudding. Every member of the family must give the pudding a stir and make a secret wish. Read more and find a Christmas pud recipe here…

Father Christmas spotted in Wrexham!
18/11/2008 by admin.
Now I haven’t seen him myself (yet) but I’m told by a very reliable source that father Christmas has got his own very cosy room in Debenhams in Wrexham. Apparently it’s a lovely set up with cosy chair, fireplace, tree etc and he’s happy to see any children that pop by. I can’t remember the exact price but it was around about the £5 mark - will post again when I find out more. Has anyone else spotted Santa in Wrexham?
