Mmm, pie?

[spudtater]

For some reason, this year I'm really intrigued by the idea of an actual meat mince pie. I've found a mincemeat recipe which I'd like to try out, but unfortunately it calls for three weeks of preparation time. Which would make it just a little bit late for Christmas.   8^(

Maybe I can make them in time for New Year's.

Any other ideas for interesting Christmas goodies?
