What does the custom mean when an unmarried man finds a button in the plum pudding?
Basically, it means nothing! I'm 72 and English. Traditionally, the Christmas dinner my family would have sat down to in Liverpool, England, would be a turkey dinner and all the trimmings. Only when the pudding was served would warnings of beware of the 'silver sixpences' (old English coinage saved over many years just for this Christmas occasion) be issued by the more mature family members to the younger (children) generation. Children would be warned not to swallow the coins should they find one!
