A Capitalist Christmas
Lupercal:
Pretty sure the British Christmas drinking habits is something like Baileys, wine, mulled wine, Stella Artois, ale, and other beer.
I do quite like Advocaat, if you have one of those tiny whizzer things (electronic stirrer?) you can mix some of it with lemonade to make a "Snowball", which is fun.
Also, really weird, the Christmas market down in Canterbury sells Ostrich burgers as some sort of Christmas treat...it's opposite the Glühwein stall.
schimmy:
Ostrich burgers are delicious! I've had them at the Christmas market in Chester. I guess something about Ostriches just screams "Christmas!" to the planners of these markets?
The Seldom Killer:
I think that's probably the OsLincs lot. We used to get them a lot in Peterborough and Swindon. I had a chat with them once and the guy said that they found the online and outlet sales a bit slow but did really well out of markets so they just go to every single one that they can. Lovely meat though.
Lupercal:
Who knows, perhaps it will take up pride of place in a few decades as the nation's favourite Christmas meat? Sitting round the table to a lovely roasted Ostrich.
The sign said "the healthiest meat on earth!" which was also a bit strange. Like they were overcompensating for something....

I met my girlfriends bigoted closeminded right wing mother and stepfather once when we first started dating and have avoided any interaction with them since. Her atheist rocket scientist father is awesome, but lives in socal so I've only met him twice when he came to visit. She is spending xmas with them and I'll be alone on xmas. I plan to go to my favorite punk bar with my best friend xmas night as has been tradition for the last three years. Doug Martsch from Built to Spill DJs there every xmas so it is really fun. I got my gf American Gods last year and she loved it. This year I want to get her something more expensive so I was thinking a 3DS and Pokemon. She isn't really expecting anything so I think it would be neat to spoil her a little when she gets back.
