93. Holiday History and Pagan Roots

‘Tis the season! Or so we say... A season for celebrations and traditions, some of which date back thousands of years. Whether it's Christmas, Saturnalia, or Yule, all have ties to the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and a sign of the sun's return. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they talk about Nordic gods, festivals of lights, Queen Victoria, and of course, the Puritans.
