Today's advent is Christmas Pudding. Not the real thing because I don't think my kids would eat it but vanilla pudding topped with holiday sprinkles. But as we're eating this tonight, I am going to share with my kids the symbolism behind this traditional holiday dessert.
Did you know that Christmas Pudding is made with 13 ingredients to represent Jesus and His twelve disciples. When making it, historically, women stirred from east to west to represent the direction in which the Magi followed the star and travelled to meet the baby Jesus.
And here I always thoughts that Christmas Pudding was just fancy fruit cake!
