The Twelve Days of Christmas: Day Two - Saturnalia

Bet you thought the paper crown in your Christmas cracker was because of the Three Kings? Well, think again. Then be astounded, confounded and dumbfounded as we unwrap the second of our Twelve Days of Christmas mini episodes. In this festive frolic, our two esteemed historians look back at the Roman pagan festival of Saturnalia, which gave us so many Christmas traditions. This is also a very special episode because it is the first time that Douglas actually annoys Hugh.
