Every holiday tradition has a story, and this season, we're unwrapping them all.
Welcome to Buchheit's Christmas Unwrapped. In this introductory episode, we set the stage for a season of surprising holiday history, from why we bring evergreen trees indoors and hang stockings by the fire, to the curious tale of the Christmas pickle and why millions of families in Japan celebrate with a bucket of KFC.
From November 1 through December 31, new one-minute stories will uncover the origins of the customs, foods, songs and symbols that make the season special, plus exclusive bonus episodes you'll only find on the podcast.
