Merry Xmas! For 100s of years, Christmas was a time of revelry and chaos, where social norms were actively cast aside. Today, the paper crowns we wear for Xmas dinner remind us of a time when we could all embrace this 'misrule' - the servants being served by the 'upper classes'.

I'm intrigued by the similar prefix attached to words for 'goblin' throughout the UK: eg bogle, bogey, boggart, bugaboo and in Wales bwgan. Either of the last two may have given us 'Boo!' Bug - a small, creepy thing - is perhaps from the same root word, one which may be 1000s of years old.
