I love 🩵❄️🌨️🤍 Winter & Christmas ❤️🎄💚 🕯️ (fully secular, tyvm) & don’t give any credence to 👻 ghosts. Found this book mildly interesting, namely due to the author’s expertise, but the ‘voice’ of the footnotes was distracting 🫤 to me. What a tangled jumble #history can be (is!). #TheDeadOfWinter

Starting this tonight, nothing like a good psychological thriller to help you sleep at night 🤣🤣🤣

So much wonderful time to read over Yule.

..."The Dead of Winter" did cool me down a bit with all its midwinter folklore (inc Alpine Krampuses and snowy St Lucys). Sarah Clegg crams a lot into a pretty short book!

10/10 for footnotes I LOVE A FOOTNOTE, and an excellent bibliography for further reading.

Reading a book about Christmas in the middle of summer in an effort to feel less hot.

(also 🤦‍♀️ that these cover stickers are still a thing).

Lovely to be back at the beautiful St Michael's Mount to sign some books ready for the new season - with my glamorous assistant! #TheDeadofWinter

I'm so glad that I'm not alone in my love of costumed spooky fun in wintertime! Having 1 costumed holiday a year is unacceptable! Currently brainstorming a green knight costume.

Book Review: The Dead of Winter – The Demons, Witches and Ghosts of Christmas by Sarah Clegg As winter comes and the hours of darkness overtake the light, we seek out warmth, good food, and good company. But beneath the jollity and bright enchantment of the festive season, there lurks a darker mood - one that has found expression over the centuries in a host of strange and unsettling traditions and lore. Here, Sarah Clegg takes us on a journey through midwinter to explore the lesser-known Christmas traditions, from English mummers plays and Austrian Krampus runs, to modern pagan rituals at Stonehenge and the night in Finland when a young girl is crowned with candles as St Lucy - a martyred Christian girl who also appears as a witch leading a procession of the dead.

A non-fiction book that feels like fiction today that is perfect for a cold, dark night.
