We attempt to respectfully discuss the origins of our Christmas traditions - including reveling, gift-giving, and virgin birthing.
Turns out it's really hard to talk about this stuff and remain one hundred percent respectful.
Were there mythological precedents for the immaculate conception? Of course there were! Was Jesus actually born December 25th? Of course not!
And how do Stanley Kubrick and JRR Tolkien fit into all this? Happy Holidays, dear listeners! See you in the new year! John and Adam
