Christmas pudding
Ingredients:
1½lb of raisins
½lb of currants
½lb of mixed peel
¾lb of bread crumbs
¾lb of suet
8 eggs
1 wineglassful of brandy
Stone and cut the raisins in halves, but do not chop them; wash, pick, and dry the currants, and mince the suet finely; cut the candied peel into thin slices, and grate down the bread into fine crumbs.
When all these dry ingredients are prepared, mix them well together; then moisten the mixture with the eggs, which should be well beaten, and the brandy; stir well, that everything may be very thoroughly blended, and press the pudding into a buttered mould; tie it down tightly with a floured cloth, and boil for 5 or 6 hours. It may be boiled in a cloth without a mould, and will require the same time allowed for cooking.
As Christmas puddings are usually made a few days before they are required for table, when the pudding is taken out of the pot, hang it up immediately, and put a plate or saucer underneath to catch the water that may drain from it.
The day it is to be eaten, plunge it into boiling water, and keep it boiling for at least 2 hours; then turn it out of the mould, and serve with brandy-sauce.
On Christmas day a sprig of holly is usually placed in the middle of the pudding, and about a wineglassful of brandy poured round it, which, at the moment of serving, is lighted, and the pudding thus brought to table encircled in flame.
Time: 5 or 6 hours the first time of boiling; 2 hours the day it is to be served.
Sufficient for a quart mould for 7 or 8 persons.

I think it may be a little too late. I'm making a Tuscan Christmas cake this year. It has fruit, nuts and coco. You can make that from 2 weeks to Christmas eve. If it is too late, try something else. I got this idea from a Marks and Spencers cook book.

Never too late. Have one of these:
IRISH CANADIAN
It could not get much simpler than this recipe, just a matter of having the spirits in stock. If you are a fan of whiskey this elegant cocktail will allow you to enjoy the malts in style.
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz Canadian whiskey
1 oz Irish Mist
PREPARATION:
Pour the ingredients in a mixing glass with ice.
Stir.
Strain into a cocktail glass.
GO NAVY
MERRY CHRISTMAS
