Where did Christmas come from? Is it true that late night shopping was invented as far back as 1867? How did the Victorians influence our understanding of Christmas? And what exactly was a ‘blowout festival’? Did Oliver Cromwell really have a downer on Christmas? And is it true that the puritans actually sought to ban Christmas? Did Coca-Cola really invent Santa? And was Rudolph based on a real reindeer?
In this weeks episode the Curious team take a look at one of the worlds oldest festivals and asks the question “what’s it all about”? How does a Christian respond to the global commercialisation and the profit making machinery that has become Christmas? How do we connect simple faith into such an elaborate reconstruction of the first Christmas? And does it really matter? Join the team in reflecting on this important time of year.
