Monday 13th December, 6pm GMT
Speaker: Dr Angharad Jones (Curator)
In this talk, we’ll be dissecting the well-known Christmas carol, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’, and looking at the latest research to determine which elements of the song could have existed in the Ice Age.
Could there have been partridges in a pear tree? What about gold rings and drumming drummers?
At the end of the talk, we’ll reveal Creswell Crags’ very own, Ice Age-appropriate, lyrics to ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’.
For your own well-being, and the protection of your ears, our Curator will NOT be singing. But feel free to grab a mince pie and have a sing from the comfort of your home. --------------------------------------------------- https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mulled-wine-and-chat-christmas-festivities-and-family-traditions-tickets-165399405073 Mulled wine and chat - Christmas festivities and family traditions by Glamorgan Family History Society Thu, 16 December 2021 19:00 – 20:00 GMT
Join us for our final coffee and chat session of 2021 where we are going to have a lighthearted look at Christmas traditions.
Does your family carry on with the traditions of your earlier generations?
Have you ever introduced something new into the family to start a new tradition?
Do you have an object that brings back happy memories or you always only bring out at Christmas time?
Have you ever recorded your family traditions or those from your childhood, in photos. film or text?
Has COVID-19 changed people's view on what is important at Christmas time? Will we be able to meet up again?
You are also very welcome to bring any family history questions along!
