Micro-post #142: Videos about the stories around Christmas creatures and the origin of Christmas cards

Christmas this year has been a muted one for me, mostly watching dogs and catching up on much-needed sleep, but I also watched a couple fun videos. The first one is from Extra History about the various weird Christmas creatures and the tales associated with them. The second is a brief history provided by the Victoria & Albert Museum about the wonderfully weird Victorian origins of the Christmas card.

Hope you all are having a Happy Holidays and that the new year might be a better one for us all.
