#84 Christmas is cancelled (Part 2)

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

Pull down the decorations and throw the tree in the street; because this week we’re discussing a few of the attempts through history to cancel Christmas. You can expect an appearance from Oliver Cromwell, Maximilien Robespierre will pop up too, as will all the critics of Elvis Presley’s 1957 Christmas album.

And this week we’ve got several great emails on the subject of “who are you playing a song to from history and what song are you picking and what do you want out of it?” (Snappier title for this feature very urgent). If you’d like to chip in you can email: hello@ohwhatatime.com).

If you fancy a bunch of OWAT content you’ve never heard before, why not treat yourself and become an Oh What A Time: FULL TIMER?

Up for grabs is:

- two bonus episodes every month!

- ad-free listening

- episodes a week ahead of everyone else

- And much more

Subscriptions are available via AnotherSlice and Wondery +. For all the links head to: ohwhatatime.com
