TimeGhost of Christmas Past - DAYS 1&2

From TimeGhost History, a favourite YouTube history channel of mine.


The Wildest Christmas Party Ever?

The first day of TimeGhost of Christmas is about a legendary Christmas Party bearing the equally legendary name of ‘the Eggnog Riots’, which took place on Christmas Eve in 1826 at the Military Academy at West-Point, New York.


 
The Origins of the Christmas Star?!

This one is full of naturalistic bovine excrement, but it has some interesting historical facts about Halley's Comet.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
