Default Xmas potatoes

I am looking for advice on this?

I have heard you can plant late and lift a crop of small spuds for
Xmas day, sounds nice and I would like to try.

What would be involved please?

Try looking in most of the well known seed merchants catalogues where you
will find the specially treated varieties available for purchase.

That petition you mention is a joke, it's simply wrong in so many ways. No,
most houses do not have a cat at all, of my 16 neighbours only two have one
cats each and one of those doesn't got outside and has never killed anything
larger than a spider (mine). Yes, we would have wild cats here naturally,
the European Linx and other predators should be more common and bird would
be less common if they were not fed by us. The last two paragraphs are
contradictory. Altogether a pathetic effort by someone that hasn't thought
their argument through.
