Perhaps a better answer would have been that the PM has better things to do than worry about the culinary hang ups of the leader of the opposition.

Perhaps a better answer would be “it’s personal choice, who cares what either of them eat for lunch?”

Lunch breaks are a workers' rights issue. It sounds frivolous but it's important if the prospective PM has a 'lunch breaks are for wimps' mentality.

Take your breaks, people. Don't work any longer or take on any more responsibility than you are being compensated for.

He lived in what is now Turkey.

Depends which tradition you are following...

Old Father Christmas is a British tradition added into the midwinter feast to pi$$ off the church/authorities of the time and hales from the North Pole. Santa Claus or SinterKlaas came to America from the Dutch Colonies and is based around the stories of St Nicholas who was a Greek/Turkish saint.

I’ve seen Elf six times, so I know Santa is from the North Pole.

I read, somewhere long ago, about a Finnish/Saami origin for Father Christmas. Saami shamans would get intoxicated on fly agaric (red & white) mushrooms, climb on to roofs and climb or shout down chimneys to ward off evil spirits.

You are totally correct, no presents for the unbelievers 😊

...then cooked and eaten?

Mostly, but sometimes just eaten....

Still waiting to see if Christmas dinner has been shot yet Christmas Dinner may yet be a Tesco meal-deal....
