Some Christmas bits, including some Ben Jonson

First of our Christmas specials - a return to Old Christmas, a fragment we've already looked at with another room, and Christmas, His Masque by Ben Jonson - our first masque, and our first complete work by Jonson. Which is nice.

The host was Robert Crighton.
