Who is Father Christmas, and how is he different from St. Nicholas? In this episode, we unwrap the fascinating history of Father Christmas, from his roots in British folklore to his evolution into a symbol of holiday cheer. Learn how ancient pagan traditions, like the mysterious “Green Man” and “Wild Men of Winter,” influenced the stories and imagery of this festive figure.
We’ll also explore how Father Christmas differs from the saintly St. Nicholas and how their tales became intertwined in holiday lore. Discover the rich mixture of myths, traditions, and cultural shifts that shaped Father Christmas into a beloved holiday icon.
At the end of the episode, I’ll read an excerpt from The Lost Years of Santa Claus, the book that delves into the hidden history of Santa’s adventures and the stories behind his legendary role in Christmas. Don’t miss this journey into the magical past of the holidays—perfect for history buffs, holiday enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a good story! 🎅✨

Jewelled breads, studded with candied fruits and nuts, are hallmarks of the Christmas holiday. Fruitcake, panettone, and julekake are favourites, but for many, this dessert is king. Resembling snow covered hills, this dessert is protected by law. And we almost lost it to history because of a Pope’s tax on butter. We are travelling to Germany to explore the history and origins of stollen.

Title: Top 5 Christmas Aesthetics
Who doesn’t love a parade? The very idea of a procession, usually involving costumes and music, is at least 4,000 years old. But grand parades to kick off the Christmas season are much newer. The kind we’re most familiar with nowadays developed when large retail chains held parades to stimulate shopping and define a new, earlier start to the Christmas season. All that capitalism sounds very American, but — surprise! — Canada beat us to it!
In today’s episode, Clayton Charters, president and CEO of the Original Santa Claus Parade in Toronto, joins Brian.
