My article this Christmas eve shares the riveting tale of the origin of many of our modern-day Christmas traditions.  Contrary to popular belief, our generation did not invent the feast of Christmas consumerism. Long before Charlie Brown’s struggle to find the meaning of Christmas, Martin Luther, an icon of the Protestant Reformation, was having his own internal holiday debate! Read the entire article I wrote for The Daily Basics – and learn how where Santa Claus comes from, why we decorate for the hoidays with a Christmas tree and why we give presents!

From my house to yours this holiday season – Merry Christmas.
