Holiday Special: Christmas

Christmas is arguably the largest, most celebrated holiday in the world. Widely celebrated as the birth of Christ, when December rolls around on the calendar many Christians get excited and eagerly look forward to the festive season, while other Christians view the season as an opportunity to decry Christmas as a man-made, pagan tradition that Christians should take no part in. 

Much like the previous Holiday Special on Halloween, Kevin and Lee examine Christmas and discuss the following questions;

Does Christmas find it's origin in paganism? Who first celebrated Christmas and why? How did December 25th come to be regarded as Jesus' birthday (we didn't get into the Eastern Orthodox view of Jan 6)? Is it possible to celebrate Christmas in a secular sense?

These questions and more are discussed in this episode.
