Celebrating the Season: Our Traditions have a Reason

Christmas is a holiday (which means Holy Day). It is undoubtedly one of the biggest events of the year in many cultures and countries with solid traditions within the home, family and church. During this presentation, Marci Narum takes a unique look at the traditions of Christmas. Discover the reasons behind our well-known and less familiar traditions, including why we decorate every year with pine trees and lights, holly and ivy and the surprising meaning behind one of the most popular Christmas carols.
