Today is "Stir-up Sunday" when you are supposed to make your Christmas pudding, with every member of the family taking a turn at stirring the mixture, and making a wish. And you must stir it in a clockwise direction. The reason for the name comes from the collect for the day in The Book of Common Prayer, which starts "Stir up, we beseech Thee, O Lord..." And of course it gives time for all the flavours to come together so that it is perfect come Christmas.
