Summary

It's time... to start thinking about the holidays. I know, I know, it's early. But I'm going to be announcing a special Holiday program next week, and I wanted to start to get you in the mood! In this episode we talk about the food, the entertainment, the music, and the drink that would have been part of a Christmas feast at a Tudor noble manor home.

0:00.0	Hello, friend, and welcome to the Renaissance English History Podcast, a part of the
0:16.9	Agora Podcast Network, and the original Tudor History podcast.
0:21.7	I am your host, Heather Tesco.
0:24.4	And I'm a storyteller who makes history accessible because I believe it's a pathway to understanding who we are, our place in the universe, and being much more deeply in touch with our own humanity.
0:35.8	This is episode, I'm not sure, 262, 261, I don't know, something.

0:50.2	If you follow my YouTube channel, you will note that on Monday I put up a video of Christmas
0:58.8	traditions, five tutor Christmas traditions, and I said in that video that while I am not
1:06.0	someone who has their Christmas decorations up yet, I am still fully in pumpkin spice mode. I will be doing

1:43.9	So today, we are going to talk about the Christmas feast.
1:58.1	Food, the swan and the peacocks and all of the Christmas wonderful foods.
2:05.1	Have you started noticing Christmas goodies in your grocery store? I'm sure you have.
2:11.2	I have friends in England who sent pictures even about a month and a half ago of some of the Christmas
2:17.3	stuff that's out.
2:18.8	And I said that I do think one thing about being an American that is a plus is that we have
2:25.2	Thanksgiving in here to kind of be a buffer between Halloween and Christmas because as much
