Father Christmas

In light of Christmas coming in two days, I thought I'd better do a Christmas themed post. The obvious choice then would be to discuss the appearance of Father Christmas in LWW.
The White Witch has cast a spell over Narnia to make it 'always winter and never Christmas' for the past century. Once the four Pevensie children arrive and 'Aslan is on the move' the Witch's curse begins to break, which we see when Father Christmas arrives to give the children and the Beaver's gifts. Lucy receives a healing potion and a dagger, Susan a bow and arrow and a magic horn that will bring aid when and Peter a sword and shield. Edmund misses out because he's with the Witch at the time.
When they hear him coming, the children think it's the Witch since she also travels via sleigh and reindeer, but instead are given this pleasant surprise.

Turkish Delight

It seems appropriate to do the post on Turkish Delight in December, it being a snowy treat. In LWW,  Turkish Delight is, basically, a symbol of sin. It's how the White Witch tricks Edmund into giving her information about his siblings and is partly how she persuades him to betray them. I've been looking forward to this post  for a while; it's a fun one. But I knew I had to actually make Turkish Delight to have the authority to be able to write about it. And now I have!
