A Thousand Tiny Steps

Ridiculous Lies About Christmas


Listen Later

As Christmas is upon us, I decided to dig up some lies on it, along with some of my childhood memories and how Christmas has differed for my kids. The biggest lie of all? When Jesus's birthday occurs and what actually went down. I suppose it shall just remain another mystery. Happy Holidays.

Key Takeaways:

[3:05] My best Christmas time memory as a child

[6:32] Finding out Santa wasn't real and Christmas magic

[8:19] December 25th is not Jesus's birthday

[14:50] The tallest tree, candy canes, the movies, and Black Friday

[17:24] Trees take 15 years to grow, Rudolph, and Christmas was illegal

[19:48] Miracle on 34th Street, lit candles in the tree, and Christmas is not romantic

[22:18] Injuries, ugly sweater parties, the Grinch, and Santa Claus school

[25:10] What Xmas stands for, eggnog, singing, and mistletoe

[28:19] The story of Jesus's birth is not accurate
