GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST:

THE PAGANS, OLIVER CROMWELL, & CHARLES DICKENS

Pssst…it turns out Christmas is a super pagan holiday. On today’s episode we’re doing a brief overview of the origins of Christmas and how Charles Dickens brought the holiday back after Oliver Cromwell had Christmas canceled. For all those who think there’s a war on Christmas…just be glad Oliver Cromwell’s not still around.

Happy Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas! I’ll talk to you in the New Year.
