In this festive mini-episode, William explores the surprising history behind the tradition, from ancient Norse offerings to Odin’s eight-legged horse, to European St. Nicholas customs, to Great Depression lessons in generosity — all the way to Coca-Cola’s iconic Santa and the postwar cookie-baking boom. Along the way, we’ll look at how different countries feed their Christmas visitors, and whether milk and cookies really make you sleepy. A cozy, sweet look at one of the world’s simplest holiday rituals — and the centuries of magic behind it. Thank You for listening and Stay curious,Kat & WilliamEmail  [email protected] you would like to support Info On The Go click the link belowhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2434258/support Follow us wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a review.Follow us on Facebook at Info on the Go!https://www.facebook.com/share/g/159DdiptQh/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://infoonthego.buzzsprout.comCozy EarthUse Code INFOGO to get 41% OFF  Old GloryUse Code INFOGO to get 15% off at checkoutPatreonSupport the show by becoming Patreon .
