A talk to discover what was the Traditional Christmas and how our British traditions of the Christmas season came about.
Our Traditional Christmas in the UK is a time for family gatherings, festive cheer, and cherished customs. The celebrations often begin with Advent, marking the countdown to Christmas, and culminate on Christmas Day, December 25th, followed by Boxing Day on December 26th.
But where did all the things like decorations, mince pies, pantomimes and Christmas crackers all come from. Find out as Bob Massey takes us back in time to discover where all of our Christmas Traditions originated from.
