To be fair, a lot of those holidays involved spending 12 hours in church.

To be fair that was technically entertainment in a large warm building you can nod off in.

church service becomes a lot more tolerable when you remember that the church itself is part of the structure of the organ, it's a bloody massive instrument that to this day remains extremely impressive to listen to.

The past was just so, so, so infinitely more boring that basically anything would be interesting by contrast, and a building-sized instrument combined with a highly trained choir, and presumably some food and drink along with just hanging out with people you otherwise don't really meet? hell yeah sounds great.
