December 25 Β· Carols, Reruns & Fraser Firs
Christmas
A lot of Christmas is younger than it feels. Rudolph started as a 1939 department-store giveaway, "Jingle Bells" was written with no Christmas in it at all, and the Fraser fir that keeps landing in the White House grows wild only in the high Appalachians of western North Carolina and its neighbors. This hub has eight games on the songs, the specials, the movies and the traditions, plus a bracket that finally lets Die Hard make its case.
