    🎄🏴‍☠️ A Pirate Christmas: How Outlaws Celebrated the Holidays at Sea

    Christmas under the black flag wasn't silent—but it was meaningful. In this special episode of The Pirate Republic, we explore how pirates may have celebrated Christmas aboard their ships: rum-soaked feasts, music on deck, games of chance, moments of nostalgia, and rare pauses in violence. From crew traditions to holiday rumors on the high seas, this is a lighter look at pirate life during the most unlikely of seasons.
