Personally, Ive always liked the notion of a Christmas barbie on the beach. Roman life, normally so hierarchical, was turned on its head: slaves were served wine by their masters, cross-dressing was encouraged (the pantomime dame has ancient roots), and an ordinary man was elected King of the Saturnalia with the power to pass any law he fancied, so long as it was suitably hilarious. As well as eating and drinking to excess, cross-dressing was widespread during festivities (it was especially popular with priests). Nearly a century later, in England, Henry VIII outlawed carol singers and the tradition of having children be strangelye decked and apparelid to couterfaite priestes, bysshops and women. In 1445 Charles VII of France issued a decree against priests derisive mockeries and spectacles.
