Have a Spooky, Scary, Christmas

Have a Spooky, Scary, Christmas

After a brief hiatus, we’re coming back at you with some Victorian Christmas traditions! Think your holiday traditions are weird? The Victorians would like a word. In this episode, we unwrap the strange and spooky side of Victorian Christmas, because nothing says “Merry Christmas” like ghost stories by the fire, oysters for dinner, and Christmas cards featuring… dead birds? So grab some figgy pudding (whatever that is), and join us under the mistletoe as we deck the halls with a little Victorian weirdness!
