Ft Guest Host Miriam Delirium
Christmas wasn't found in a box, a bag, or a stocking. Christmas was found in one dude's sarcastic fan fiction. Today, we uncover the true origins of Christmas.
From Roman Saturnalia Festivals, to the Puritans making Christmas illegal, to the birth of the Proto-Santas, to 1800s writer Washington Irving inventing the Modern American Christmas tradition in his satirical writings.
