But the real thing I learnt about Christmas came from the spice market.
We all know mummy got caught kissing Santa Claus. But until today I never realised he'd been dosing her up on nutmeg to get her into the "Christmas spirit", so to speak.
So there you go, Christmas cake spices will never be the same again, now we know they are "better for woman that given up desire for making or to fulfill their men".
