i didnt realise we only celebrated xmas since 1810 ??
it was actually dying out ?

amuses me that folk moan about coca cola and santas suit.
yet we only really bothered again since the early 1800s.
most of the traditions are actually only from charles dickens a xmas carol.
seems weve been dictated to afterall.
by a writer?

quite an interesting programme.
check it out.
