Description
For the Tudors, Christmas Day was not traditionally the date when gifts were given. The Twelve Days of Christmas begin on 25 December and end at Epiphany, 6 January - also known as Twelfth Night. In Tudor times, all 12 were feast days, but 1 January was the day when presents were unwrapped.In this edition of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb dives into how Christmas and New Year were marked by the Tudors and Stuarts, and what kind of gifts they gave, with Dr. Felicity Heal, author of The Power of Gifts: Gift Exchange in Early Modern England.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit: https://access.historyhit.com/checkout/subscribe/purchaseTo download, go to Android:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.historyhit&hl=en_GB&gl=US or Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/history-hit/id1303668247Keep up to date with everything early modern, from Henry VIII to the Sistine Chapel with our Tudor Tuesday newsletter: Subscribe here: https://www.historyhit.com/sign-up-to-history-hit/?utm_source=timelinenewsletter&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=Timeline+Podcast+Campaign Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
