@TracyBorman Many congratulations Tracy! Hope you had a lovely day

My column in this month's @HistoryToday is about the old custom of giving books or poems as a New Year present. Gifts at New Year were thought to bring luck in the year ahead - we should bring back the tradition of starting the year with a new book! https://t.co/RUft2VZsmB

[Eleanor Parker @ClerkofOxford]

The long night of St Lucy's Day was proverbial: 'Lucy light, shortest day and longest night'. John Donne writes of imagining death:

'Think that they bury thee, and think that rite
Lays thee to sleep but a St Lucy's night.'

(St Lucy in a 14th-century Psalter, BL Add. 24686)
