Episode 306: Japes and Tricks and Festive Diversions - Traditional Games Played at Yule and Christmas

2021-12-24

The dragons feel that they've talked about the bloodier origins of winter festivals enough for now so this year's Christmas episode is focusing on festive games. On a whistle stop tour through history, Jules and Madeleine take a look popular winter pastimes such as 'hot cockles', the cushion dance, buffy gruffy and up Jenkins, to name just a few. A light hearted festive episode that doesn't stray into (too much) gory detail.

The dragons also wish all their listeners a very merry yule!
