noradsanta.org - An oldie, but a goodie. Way back in the 1950s, the North American Aerospace Defence Command realised that its missile-tracking systems could be used to monitor the position of Santa as he sped around the globe on Christmas Eve. 


miniclip.com - Find this game (it's called Ice Slide) and many more under the heading "Christmas Games". Perhaps, since there's not much chance of snow outside your house this Christmas, you might enjoy an on-screen snowball fight instead ("Snowball Warfare" is a top-quality example).


historicfood.com - Doubtless it has occurred to you that the mincemeat in mince pies does not, nowadays, contain minced meat, but must have done in the past. Earlier, veal or even tongue was a commonplace ingredient, but in Victorian times minced roast beef became the mainstay of these spicy, fruity meat pies. If you'd like to taste mince pies as Queen Victoria knew them, to a recipe by her master cook, you will find it on the website of the food historian Ivan Day (scroll down to the bottom and there's a link that mentions "Victorian Christmas recipes").
