"Lucy Worsley recreates how Christmas was celebrated during the age of Henry VIII -- eating, drinking, singing, dancing and partying like people did 500 years ago. She's getting into Tudor clothes, and inside Tudor minds -- discovering the roots of some of the Christmas customs we still enjoy today, and exploring why other festive traditions fell out of favor. Read more Lucy Worsley's 12 Days of Tudor Christmas With the help of food historian Annie Gray, she rolls up her sleeves to prepare two royal feasts in the kitchens of Hampton Court Palace. Dressed as Henry himself for the King's Christmas dinner, Lucy samples a stuffed boar's head served by a choir singing its praises; later she munches on a marzipan chess set, and tastes a giant forerunner of the Christmas cake. Lucy joins Tudor carol-singers to hear a festive hit penned by Henry; experiences the rabble rousing fun and chaos created by the Lord of Misrule; and enjoys the kind of spectacular dance-based entertainment staged at court. She also explores how ordinary Tudors liked to enjoy themselves, and why the holidays were such a welcome break. On each of the traditional twelve days of Christmas, Lucy reveals a different aspect of the festitivities -- uncovering fresh insights into the Tudor mind and casting a captivating new light on Christmas itself."--Container.
