Goddlefrood (with a few answers for our Transatlantic, in my case 
Transpacific friends :))

It may be of interest that Ireland only split into two after 1921.
Long after the WW's boundaries would have been set.

Goddlefrood:

Not strictly the case, but close enough to be prescient ;). As 
at 1692 the boundaries of many countries globally were different 
from how they now are, let's say :)

There was also a little wonderment over British children and
Christmas in another post, tyopically children there have their
sack fron Santa at the end of their beds, which are opened in
seclusion and further presents from non-Santas under a tree,
which are opened communally.

Unable to tie this further to canon, but there we are :)

Goddlefrood who also reminds you all that in 1692 Elias Ashmole,
the English Antiquarian and namesake of an HP character died :)
