Here we come a-wassailing! This time Garth and Cody are joined once again by Dr. Tim King to learn about the ancient and varied origins of several Christmas traditions. From ancient Odin worshipers, to Yule logs, to drunk man-goats, to Father Christmas and Santa Claus- We are meticulously unwrapping it all! So drag another large tree trunk into the fire, mix up a giant bowl of Wassail or Punch to keep the party going, and put that elf on a shelf where he belongs.... The Garbage. This year, we are celebrating Christmas 800's style!
