festive friday facts...
Not long now until Christmas day is upon us so I thought another batch of festive fun facts was in order.
Christmas pudding was originally a soup made with raisins and wine.
In Britain, the best-selling festive single is Band Aid's 1984 track, Do They Know It's Christmas?, which sold 3.5million copies. Wham! is next in the same year with Last Christmas, selling 1.4million.
The bestselling Xmas single ever is Bing Crosby's White Christmas, shifting over 50million copies worldwide since 1942.
The word Christmas comes from the Old English "Cristes maesse" meaning "Christ's Mass".
56 percent of Americans sing holiday carols to their pets!
Jingle Bells was the first song broadcast from space when Gemini 6 astronauts Tom Stafford and Wally Schirra sang it on December 16, 1965.
The holly in a wreath symbolises Christ's crown of thorns while the red berries are drops of his blood.
Many parts of the Christmas tree can actually be eaten, with the needles being a good source of Vitamin C.
The world's tallest Xmas tree at 221ft high was erected in a Washington shopping mall in 1950.
The abbreviation Xmas isn't irreligious. The letter X is a Greek abbreviation for Christ.
Jesus was probably born in a cave and not a wooden stable, say Biblical scholars.
Nearly 60 million Christmas trees are grown each year in Europe.
According to a survey, 7 out of 10 dogs get Christmas gifts from their doting owners!
Happy Friday everyone.

super simple turkey bake...
I love dishes where everyone gets to tuck in and help themselves. It brings people together and I just love sharing food around the table. I've found a nice festive bake to make use of all the Christmas dinner leftovers. This is delicious and obviously the recipe is just a guide, so feel free to chuck in anything else you might like. I love mushrooms so add those in to almost everything I cook.
Ingredients:
stuffing, use leftovers if you have some, if not you can use a packet mix if you are not up to making another batch to cover the top of the bake.
turkey, enough to feed four, feel free to add some leftover ham to this aswell if you dont have enough turkey.
brocolli, again use the left overs this is what this recipe is all about, maybe even cook some extra on Christmas day so you know you have enough for both days.
1 can of condensed cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup of milk
grated cheese, enough to taste, leftovers from the cheese plate are great for this.
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius.
2. Combine your turkey and brocolli in a baking dish.
3. Mix the soup, milk and cheese and pour over the top of the turkey and brocolli.
4. Top with the stuffing and place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes. It really is as easy as that!
This is so quick and easy, you would be crazy not to try it.
Merry Christmas!
