Of Christmases Long, Long Ago

Brian Earl is back with another look at the fascinating stories behind the most wonderful time of the year.

Surely, Christmas in the distant past must have been different from the version we know today. But how different? As you're about to find out, the Christmases of long, long ago were a merry mess of odd superstitions, dangerous games, overindulgences, and playful misrule.

Step back in time and experience Christmas as you've never seen it before. But beware: You'll encounter ghosts, monsters, concealed identities, ritual animal disguise, gunfire, and lots of alcohol.
