Highlights[]
Meet the 18th century man whose job was to walk a thousand turkeys from Norfolk to London – he set off in September, and yes, they did have shoes. Step aside Father, we've got the other Christmas spirits, including Joulopukki, the Finnish Festive Goat. Don't miss the stories behind the first ever Christmas tree, the first nativity scene, why Henry VIII thought Elizabeth I's gift was boring, and how the Romans celebrated Saturnalia by giving rubbish presents. and Charles Dickens sings us out, Slade stylie, revealing how the Victorians first introduced many of the Christmas traditions we enjoy today.
