S2E22: Christmas: Old and New

Did you know that Christmas celebrations did not begin until the fourth century AD? Or that St. Francis or Franciscans were not the first to make the crib popular? Or that the Carols were originally a collection of bawdy songs until local priests in Germany, Italy, Ireland and England turned them into divine prayers? This Christmas special episode of HistoryChatter explores a long term history of the Christmas feasts over the ancient and medieval times. It  takes you through the evolution of the sights and sounds and the flavours of Christmas celebrations as we know it today.
