On 21 December, the poor went a-Thomasing, asking for alms.
And refusing to give?
That was a moral failure.
Because Christmas meant remembering a poor-born Christ, and helping people survive winter.

Much has been said about the so-called “Christmas Truce” during World War One.
What was really behind the armistice? Was it the Christmas spirit of peace on earth and goodwill toward men? Or is it more nuanced than that?

Today's #ChristmasWordfoolery is pudding.
The origins of Christmas pudding pre-dates the Victorians. The first puddings were medieval sausages made with fat, spices, dried fruits, meat, grains, and vegetables packed into animal intestines for preservation purposes. #ChristmasHistory 🧵🎄📚 #etymology

The Reformation didn’t just change churches…it changed Christmas.
Some Tudor traditions were banned. Others survived.

Today's #ChristmasWordfoolery is gingerbread.
Gingerbread entered the English language in the late 1200s, spelled as gingerbrar from Old French ginginbrat (ginger preserve) and Medieval Latin gingimbratus (gingered).

Vintage 1920 advertisement showing Santa Claus reclining against a brick chimney, smoking a cigarette. He wears a red suit and black boots, with a night sky and evergreen branches in the background. A pack of Murad “The Turkish Cigarette” peeks out of his sack of presents with holly and wrapped gifts. Large text at the top reads “MURAD THE TURKISH CIGARETTE,” and smaller text at the bottom reads, “What could you enjoy more this Xmas than Murad?”
🧵 It’s the holiday season. Santa Claus is an icon of that history, but he wasn’t always reaching for a soda. 🎅

Tudor Christmas didn’t sound quiet and holy… it was loud, joyful and absolutely packed with music.
Some of the carols we still sing today were already favourites in Henry VIII’s time!...

From Tudor feasts to Puritan bans to colonial sugar, this festive favourite tells a story of faith, trade & tradition.

Forget early Christmas trees, the Tudors decorated only on Christmas Eve, with greenery full of symbolism, myth… and even protection from witches!
And leave a single leaf up after Candlemas? Goblins, apparently…
