From humble beginnings in a Bethlehem stable to the firelit pages of Dickensian London… from the legend of a gift-giving bishop who became Santa Claus to the thunderous silence of the trenches on Christmas Day 1914, where enemies became men and played football in no-man’s-land—we uncover the heart of a holiday that refuses to be forgotten.

We'll delve into sacred stories, centuries-old traditions, and the bold reforms that tried to reshape them. Discover how a single ghost story reignited the spirit of giving, and how myth, memory, and meaning turned December 25th into something far greater than a date.

Join Keith for a journey through joy and solemnity, miracle and myth—where history flickers like candlelight and Christmas reveals itself not just as a celebration… but as a feeling that’s endured across centuries.

This isn’t just Christmas. This is how Christmas became.
