While it is only 1 November today and Blogmas 2023 will not be starting until the end of the month (at least for me), today seemed a good choice to launch my Christmas history hub. With this being my eighth Blogmas where I explore the history of the holiday season, I have rather a lot of history posts on the blog. And to hopefully be helpful to all of you lovely readers, I’ve gathered them in one main hub here so that you just need to return here. If you are planning some new celebrations or are planning on going to a festive pub quiz (or hosting your own), look no further. Welcome to the An Historian About Town Christmas History Hub!
