In Tudor times, the weeks before Christmas were about working and fasting. But once Christmas day came, the partying began! For 12 days, everyone from farmers and laborers to royals leaned into feasts, gifts, and parties. We can learn something from the Tudors about how to celebrate.

The Tudors are one of the most famous dynasties in royal history. We can't stop talking about them. It's easy to forget how unlikely the dynasty was.
