Join us as we explore the history of St. Nicholas, discuss when and why Santa Claus emerged, and unpack the ridiculous—and often humorous—reactions of the Christmas humbugs. With St. Nicholas's feast day fast approaching on December 6th, we're releasing this episode early so you can plan ahead and celebrate the inspiring example of faithfulness shown by St. Nicholas with us this weekend.

DISCLAIMER: If you and your family practice the tradition of Santa Claus, we do not recommend listening to this episode with your children around.

In light of the season of Thanksgiving, Joe and I want to say thank you for coming alongside us on this journey as we lean more deeply into a liturgical way of life. We pray that your Thanksgiving Day is filled with joy, rest, and renewal as you celebrate all the gifts God has poured out this year. Know that you are a choice gift of God, and we truly cherish the time you spend with us every other week here on The Liturgical Dad.
