Easter. Halloween. Cinco de Mayo. Which holidays, still celebrated today, are the longest-running and have the deepest roots in history?
Join Nick Emel and his lifelong friend Steven Clark on this journey through history as they count down the Top 10 Modern Holidays With the Oldest Origins.
PLUS... the pagan roots of each holiday, the Catholic Church and their appropriation of pre-existing holidays, holiday traditions, our personal favorite holidays, Steven and his special relationship with Santa Claus, Nick sings "Santa Baby", and MUCH more.
< REMINDER > This will be our final episode of 2023. Next week we will have no new episode, as a "moment of silence" for our fallen co-founder and original co-host, Brandon Coffman.
