The cakes were in the forms of animals and humans, l.nter the cakes became more elaborate, and were adopted as Christmas cakes. In early linglund these cakes fti-- dies are used for Illumination at the Christmas dinner, whether It he for- mal or Informal, because they serve to carry out the Christinas tradition. Many old superstitions still cling to the popular Chrlstmts foods. To refuse a piece of mince pie ut a Christmas dinner, for Instance, means 111 luck for the year. To eat apples at midnight on Christmas eve. however, Is to injoy great, health during the year. If a loaf of bread Is nllovved to remain on the table after the Christ-ma- t eve celebration, there will be no luck of bread In the house for the net twelve months.
