About this listen
In this episode, your favorite weirdos dive into the ancient origins of Christmas traditions and uncover the surprising ways pagan festivals influenced the holiday we know today.
From the feasts of Saturnalia in Rome to the Norse celebration of Yule, we explore the rituals, symbols, and festivities that shaped modern Christmas customs. Why do we decorate trees, exchange gifts, or celebrate with feasts?
Join us as we trace these traditions back to their roots and reveal how they were adapted into Christian practices over centuries. Whether you’re a history buff, a holiday enthusiast, or just as fed up with the holidays as our own resident Grinch, Ashley, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the season of joy.
