Tudor Christmas part 2: Christmas Feasts and Gift Giving

The video explores Tudor Christmas traditions, focusing on gift-giving, work customs, and festive foods. Gifts were exchanged on New Year's Day, with political implications at court. Work ceased during Christmas, with Plough Monday marking the return to labor. Feasting was central, with dishes like plum porridge and mince pies. The video also covers the evolution of these foods and the introduction of turkey. Fasting during Advent was common, but exceptions were made for Christmas feasts.
