Manage episode 373878411 series 3501542
Pssst…it turns out Christmas is a super pagan holiday. On today’s episode we’re doing a brief overview of the origins of Christmas and how Charles Dickens brought the holiday back after Oliver Cromwell had Christmas canceled. For all those who think there’s a war on Christmas…just be glad Oliver Cromwell’s not still around.
Happy Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas! I’ll talk to you in the New Year.
This is a rebroadcast from the sunnier days of 2019.
