Father Christmas is the traditional English name for the personification of Christmas. Although now known as a Christmas gift-bringer, considered to be synonymous with American culture's Santa Claus, now known worldwide, he was part of an unrelated and much older English folkloric tradition; the recognisably modern figure of the English Father Christmas developed in the late Victorian period, but Christmas had been personified for centuries before then. English personifications of Christmas were first recorded in the 15th century, with Father Christmas himself first appearing in the mid 17th century in the aftermath of the English Civil War; the Puritan-controlled English government had legislated to abolish Christmas, considering it papist, had outlawed its traditional customs. Royalist political pamphleteers, linking the old traditions with their cause, adopted Old Father Christmas as the symbol of'the good old days' of feasting and good cheer. Following the Restoration in 1660, Father Christmas's profile declined.

His character was maintained during the late 18th and into the 19th century by the Christmas folk plays known as mummers plays. Until Victorian times, Father Christmas was concerned with adult merry-making, he had no particular connection with children, nor with the giving of presents, nocturnal visits, stockings or chimneys. But as Victorian Christmases developed into child-centric family festivals, Father Christmas became a bringer of gifts; the popular American myth of Santa Claus arrived in England in the 1850s and Father Christmas started to take on Santa's attributes. By the 1880s the new customs had become established, with the nocturnal visitor sometimes being known as Santa Claus and sometimes as Father Christmas, he was illustrated wearing a long red hooded gown trimmed with white fur. Any residual distinctions between Father Christmas and Santa Claus faded away in the early years of the 20th century, modern dictionaries consider the terms Father Christmas and Santa Claus to be synonymous.

The custom of merrymaking and feasting at Christmastide first appears in the historical record during the High Middle Ages. This certainly represented a continuation of pre-Christian midwinter celebrations in Britain of which—as the historian Ronald Hutton has pointed out—"we have no details at all." Personifications came and when they did they reflected the existing custom. The first known English personification of Christmas was associated with merry-making and drinking. A carol attributed to Richard Smart, Rector of Plymtree in Devon from 1435 to 1477, has'Sir Christemas' announcing the news of Christ's birth and encouraging his listeners to drink: "Buvez bien par toute la compagnie, / Make good cheer and be right merry, / And sing with us now joyfully: Nowell, nowell."Many late medieval Christmas customs incorporated both sacred and secular themes. In Norwich in January 1443, at a traditional battle between the flesh and the spirit, John Gladman and disguised as'King of Christmas', rode behind a pageant of the months "disguysed as the seson requird" on a horse decorated with tinfoil.

In most of England the archaic word'Yule' had been replaced by'Christmas' by the 11th century, but in some places'Yule' survived as the normal dialect term. The City of York maintained an annual St Thomas's Day celebration of The Riding of Yule and his Wife which involved a figure representing Yule who carried bread and a leg of lamb. In 1572 the riding was suppressed on the orders of the Archbishop, who complained of the "undecent and uncomely disguising" which drew multitudes of people from divine service; such personifications, illustrating the medieval fondness for pageantry and symbolism, extended throughout the Tudor and Stuart periods with Lord of Misrule characters, sometimes called'Captain Christmas','Prince Christmas' or'The Christmas Lord', presiding over feasting and entertainment in grand houses, university colleges and Inns of Court. In his allegorical play Summer's Last Will and Testament, written in about 1592, Thomas Nashe introduces for comic effect a miserly Christmas character who refuses to keep the feast.

He is reminded by Summer of the traditional role that he ought to be playing: "Christmas, how chance thou com’st not as the rest, / Accompanied with some music, or some song? / A merry carol would have graced thee well. Early 17th century writers used the techniques of personification and allegory as a means of defending Christmas from attacks by radical Protestants. Responding to a perceived decline in the levels of Christmas hospitality provided by the gentry, Ben Jonson in Christmas, His Masque dressed his Old Christmas in out-of-date fashions: "attir'd in round Hose, long Stockings, a close Doublet, a high crownd Hat with a Broach, a long thin beard, a Truncheon, little Ruffes, white shoes, his Scarffes, Garters tyed crosse". Surrounded by guards, Christmas asserts his rightful place in the Protestant Church and protests against attempts to exclude him: "Why Gentlemen, doe you know what you doe? Ha! would you ha'kept me out? Christmas, old Christmas? Christmas of London, Captaine Christmas?... they would not let me in: I must come another time!

A good jeast, as if I could come more once a yeare. I am old Gregorie Christmas still, though I come out of Popes-head-alley as good a Protestant, as any i'my Parish."The stage directions to The Springs Glorie, a 1638 court masque by Thomas Nabbes, state, "Christmas is personated by an old reverend Gentleman in a furr'd gown and cappe &c." Shrovetide and Christmas dispute precedence, Shrovetide issues a challenge: "I say Christ

Peabutter is a food spread made from brown peas and functions as a substitute for peanut butter. The product was first prepared by Alberta farmer Joe St. Denis in July 2002 who noted that the brown pea had certain similarities to peanuts. Oils such as canola and cottonseed are combined with icing sugar and mixed with crushed Solido brown peas to form the spread. Besides the absence of peanut material, Peabutter is devoid of cholesterol. A small amount of hydrogenated oil, a trans fat, is present. NoNuts Golden Peabutter is produced by Mountain Meadows Food Processing at Legal, Alberta. Distribution has extended throughout Canada, reaching all national grocery chains; the Peabutter product was distributed to the United States Armed Forces which requested alternative products for those allergic to peanuts. The use of substitute spreads such as Peabutter has concerned some observers such as Jane Salter, a doctor representing allergy support group Anaphylaxis Canada, she cautioned that children who are susceptible to peanut-triggered anaphylaxis may not properly distinguish between Peabutter and peanut butter.

Some schools have banned Peabutter, fearing potential confusion with peanut butter
