What are the pictures on your Christmas cards really about?
Why does Father Christmas dress in red?
Why do robins feature so much?
Who is Krampus?
What did angels really look like?
And not least, the Christmas Story, a Baby, wise men, and a laughing donkey!
This talk looks at the mix of folk tales and faith depicted in cards at this time of year.
