14 Christmas Customs

Yule Logs, Christmas trees, and December 25th. These all connect to the bright twinkle lights you see on everyone’s houses in December. What might these have to do with the ancient Roman empire? This episode connects the smell of balsam wood and holly with the Pagan roots of northern Europe. In this episode, we find the thread that brings us to the origins of Christmas customs.
