    Today I'm giving you a coupon for a haircut! The catch is that it has to be a style popular in France between 1589 and 1778!
    I could get behind the Curly Hedgehog Chignon, c. 1777, with a lover's band! Or Cornucopia? Or Diana's Crescent?

    Marie de Medici also makes an appearance, as do a few gentlemen...

    From what I understand, originally you'd place your shoe and sing songs on the night of #December5'th, and find the gifts the next morning on #December6th.

    As a result of increased prosperity & commercialisation, it became more common to have small gifts in the shoes in the weeks up to the 5th
