Listen "In Defense of Christmas"
Episode Synopsis
Today Glenn rises to defend a holiday that some pagans and certain Christians love to hate: Christmas.
Who could hate Christmas? It is puzzling. There are the folks who claim that there is no justification for December 25th--or January 6th for that matter--so it must have been some sort of appropriation of a pagan holiday. Then there are the folks who just don't think any Christian holidays can be justified, period.
Glenn challenges these conceits and more. You can depend on Tom and Chris to egg him on.
