S4E298-Christmas.jpg

Christmas is filled with stories. Digging a little deeper we find that some of the stories behind the stories are even more magical. In today's show, we look at three Christmas stories.

Segment One - A Christmas Legacy
Christmas time is filled with magic. Maybe it’s humanity remembering to love one another. Or could it be the reflection on the gift given the world through the birth of a child that would grow up to give his life for others? The season is filled with history, tradition, and legacies. But what happens when we forget legacy? When we forget the story behind the legacy? That’s what happened with Stille Nacht better known as Silent Night.

Segment Two - A Christmas Mystery
Our next story is a story of Christmas Mystery. It’s a story that we all know, but there may be more to the story than the poem. One of the key areas of dispute is who even wrote the story. 20 years after the story was published in the Sentinel Newspaper on Troy NY. We revisit this classic story to discover why it's impacted our views of Santa Clause in such a deep way.

Segment Three - A Christmas Story
Christmas is a season filled with stories, but there is one story that is the bedrock of the Christmas Story. We revisit the Luke 2 story of the Birth of Jesus.

So join us as we explore some of our favorite hidden and not so hidden stories of Christmas.
