Wen and Andrew are joined by their good friend and one of their favorite Chicago comedians and magicians, Angel Garcia! Together they find out how Christmas really started, and got to where it is today. They cover everything from its origins in Yule and Saturnalia, to the pope who made it Jesus' birthday, and the crazy party he couldn't stop. They also discuss how Santa became Santa, and where it almost went TERRIBLY wrong, when a series of British civil wars led to a ban on everything Christmas!
