On this special Christmas episode we look at everything Christmas.

What is Christmas? When did it begin? What does it really mean? Where did it originate from? Who is this fat man that knows if our kids are sleeping, and why does he want them to sit on his lap? Why does Santa come down our chimney and give us crap we don’t need? Where does the sleigh and flying reindeer come from? How is it these reindeer fly anyways? What about these pretty trees and wreaths and what do they mean with Christmas? And what about this Jesus guy? Is it really his birthday? What does the Bible say about all this Christmas stuff – if at all?

Well … hold on to your childhood memories, because Christmas might not be what you think it is. Not at all.

On this must-listen-to episode we go through Christmas piece by piece from it’s origins thousands of years ago to it’s modern day consumerism and absurdity.
