In this episode of The Lost Tapes, we explore the hidden history behind Christmas and the ancient traditions that came before it. From Yule and the winter solstice to folklore, fire rituals, and the origins of Santa Claus, this episode looks at how old beliefs were transformed over time.

We also examine biblical clues that suggest Jesus was likely not born in December and why the date was chosen for its symbolism rather than accuracy. This is a story about darkness, light, and the traditions humans return to when the world grows cold.
