Welcome to the first episode of All Holidays Matter! A podcast where we explore the origin, traditions, and people's experiences on holidays around the world. My guest for this first episode is history teacher Miguel Gravelle Izaguirre and we discuss the surprising past of New Year.

I mentioned date wine at some point in this episode, so here's a recipe I found online. I've never made it or had it, but it looks good! http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques64.asp
