Description

We discussed the origins of the Christmas holiday, from ancient Roman traditions such as the feasting & orgies of Saturnalia to Viking, Nordic & Germanic practices such as Yule, where we get the custom of lighted trees in the home, gift giving & so on. We later get into current events, like the whopping $600 your government has decided to return to you, the peasant.
