    The 25 Strangest days of Christmas Day 10 - Holiday Hair Art: The Sentimental (and Slightly Creepy) Victorian Gift Dec 10, 2025
    Show notes

    Victorians loved giving handmade holiday gifts — including woven hair wreaths, braided lock jewelry, and embroidered mourning designs using the hair of the living and dead. Amy explores why these tactile treasures were considered heartfelt keepsakes rather than eerie reminders of mortality. Bonus: one London girl school reportedly held a best hair craft competition. Imagine the judging table.
