Christmas Compilation: Part Two
Season's greetings! Welcome to the second of our Holy Trinity of festive specials, where we take our collected Christmas mini episodes from the archive and smush them together into full-length episodes to get you through the Yuletide period. In this episode Douglas and Hugh tuck in to the history of Christmas food and drink throughout the ages, the world's weirdest Christmas rituals, the truth behind the Nativity and iconic Victorian Christmas traditions. You'll finally discover the real difference between a current and a raisin, why egg nog is actually called egg nog and why there was rabid anti Ewok sentiment during much of the nineteenth century. Enjoy! ------ 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.
