The Twelve Days of Christmas: Day Eight - Charles Dickens and the Victorian Christmas
Ever wonder why we have Christmas crackers? Or Christmas cards? Or why elderly relatives eat discarded sprouts off the floor? Well, like so much in the modern world, we owe many festive traditions to the Victorians. And of course, no yuletide is complete without Charles Dickens' immortal classic, A Christmas Carol. Join Douglas and Hugh as they reveal for the first time that earlier drafts of this timeless novella featured many more Muppets than were depicted in the final film. ----- History for You with Douglas and Hugh is a comedy podcast about history written, performed and produced by Adrian Mackinder and James Devonshire, with music by Mike Jones.
