Have you ever wondered where Christmas traditions come from? Better yet, is there any CHRISTIAN truth to these traditions, or are they all rooted in paganism? And what’s the deal with Santa Claus? Where did he come from and how did he become such a legend in the hearts and minds of both children and adults? The answers may surprise you!

Back by popular demand (and just in time for the holidays), nationally known speaker and best-selling author, Bill Federer, joins Frank to discuss the TRUE history of Christmas and debunk some of the popular myths circulating online about its origins. During this episode, Bill will unpack the story of St. Nicholas as detailed in his popular book ‘There Really Is a Santa Claus‘, and explore the various Christmas traditions that have evolved across different cultures over time. Listen as Frank and Bill answer questions like:

• Was Jesus really born on December 25th?

And so much more! As you’ll hear in this fascinating conversation, Bill is an amazing historian, storyteller, and fan favorite of the CrossExamined community. His wealth of knowledge on this subject will not only encourage you to defend the Christmas holiday, but also help you to see how it ultimately points to the plan of redemption.
