A very festive bonus episode of School Britannia Podcast, a fortnightly show serving you British History gems from the perspective of two Aussie upstarts. How did a stroll through an Edinburgh graveyard inspire one of the most iconic grinchy characters in history? And Christmas trees are as old are Jesus... aren't they? All this and more in this bonus Christmas episode!
