Step into a freezing Georgian country house at Christmas, where aristocratic guests enjoy lavish feasts, ballroom dances and weeks of festivities—while servants do the exhausting work behind the scenes. This gently humorous history explores plum pudding, holly and mistletoe, the Yule log, Queen Charlotte’s early Christmas tree, winter travel and the customs of Britain’s wealthy families before Victorian traditions took hold.
Blending historical storytelling with calm narration and playful detail, this episode is a relaxing journey through Georgian England and the realities of life above and below stairs. Settle in for history for sleep, bedtime listening or background listening, with fascinating Christmas history, aristocratic traditions and everyday life in the 18th century.}ikwembu malembe
