The Christmas Lord
It was the custom in Great Britain to choose a Christmas Lord to preside over festivities at many colleges. This was done on All Hallow's Day, November first. The last Christmas Lord on record was chosen in 1577 at St. John's College. Tom (Thomas) Tucker received the majority of votes in absentia. He went on to invent a delicious mint ginger ale and then sang for his supper. The last sentence is made up.
