Very traditional! Right up there with the roast turkey. Probably MORE traditional than the turkey, lol! Different people have different traditions, some prefer a goose for Christmas, or something else.
Mince pies over here are made with mincemeat which has NOTHING to do with meat, it's a sweet mixture of dried fruits and spices, and it's mostly used in small individual pies, served hot, sometimes with brandy butter or custard. Christmas pudding is one of those things people either love or hate, very rich and usually containing alcohol. I like it, but mum hates it, so I rarely have any.
The boys had a lot of fun and got quite stuffed on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day. New Ianto has settled in very well, he and Coat Jack are very happy together now =)
