Fab Pod! It was actually against the law to celebrate xmas in the 1600s!
Seeing celebrating Christmas as a rebellion and an act of resistance is predictably appealing to me 🤣🤣🤣
Whatever today brings, I'm sending you wishes filled with love, hope and gratitude ❤️

What I find the most telling and indeed distressing about Bennett's defensive tirade in response to 'that report' is that there is no mention of the children impacted and harmed!
