Description

Sorry for the lateness everyone, the History Woes team got caught up helping Santa tune up his sleigh. But now that we're here, we're covering Christmas themed stories! First, Morgan covers the Christmas truce of 1914. Then, Lexi tells us all about the history of Christmas as we know it today.
