Christmas Episode 2: Santa & Christmas Wonder episode / season 1
Your browser does not support the HTML5 Audio element.
Our last episode of 2020 features the big man himself: Jolly Old St. Nick. Santa Claus. Kris Kringle. The big man. The guy who’s coming to visit us all soon! How did Santa evolve from St. Nicolas to a jolly portly guy in a red suit? There’s some history to be considered here, and it ends with us ultimately basking in the warm glow of the wonder of Christmas - when a little baby came to fix a broken world.
