It is Christmas Day in the workhouse,And the cold, bare walls are brightWith garlands of green and holly,Ad the place is a pleasant sight;For with clean-washed hands and faces,In a long and hungry lineThe paupers sit at the table,For this is the hour they dine.
Our variation on the same theme was Boxing Day....Cold Turkey and ham with Branston Pickles naturally and....Bubble n Squeak made from the left-over Brussels and mash spuds.
