I get so immersed in the lives of my ancestors when doing my research, that I imagine that I am with them, taking part in the pantomime and then going home with them. Some lived like the Cratchits with barely two ha’pennies to rub together, but I am sure that they too did what they could to make a feast of Christmas Day. They could have my portion of goose though…….
