Celebrate Jane Austen’s birthday

Start the Christmas celebrations with this wonderful talk about Georgian Christmases! Advent marked the start of Christmas but preparations would begin the week before on Stir Up Sunday. Houses were decorated with evergreens. There would be ‘mumming’ ‘wassailing’ spillikins, bilbocatch, bullet pudding and snapdragons.
