I didn't know that either, that Christmas is nine months after Easter. I thought it was then because of Saturnalia and the solstice etc. Not that matching up a lunar calendar (which the Jewish one is) with the Julian would have the same results from year to year.

Anyway, a very happy Christmas to you, and your pudding ice cream sounds wonderful! Do you mash up actual pudding into soft ice cream and refreeze, or did you develop the recipe from scratch? I suspect the latter. :-)
