Ancestors' Advent Calendar: Dec 17th: One Mince Pie a Day For Happiness

There is a legend that if you take one per day during that mystic period you will ensure 12 months’ following felicity. I hope my readers do not fail to perceive in what an easy, pleasant manner orthodoxy and a happy life may be secured.'
