I’m historian and author Claire Ridgway, and in today’s episode of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, we’re walking through the true Twelve Days of Christmas, a world of church services, feasts, fasting, wine, charity, misrule, and community traditions that modern Christmas barely resembles.
In this video, you’ll learn:
- Why Christmas Day was all about worship — not feasting
- Why no work (not even spinning!) was allowed throughout the 12 days
- How St Stephen’s Day involved charity… AND horse-bleeding and hunting

- Why Childermas was the most solemn, and sometimes unsettling, day
- Why New Year’s Day gift-giving was the most political moment of the season
- How Twelfth Night was celebrated
- Why the fun abruptly ended with Plough Monday and St Distaff’s Day
