Film Synopsis:

Christmas abounds with traditions, from neighborhood carolers to lovingly decorated trees, but from where did all these rituals emerge? This enlightening program looks at the origins of the Western world’s most popular Christmas traditions — from the significance of December 25th and its relationship to winter solstice to the enchanting legend of Santa Claus and Prince Albert’s 1841 unveiling of the Christmas tree.

This film is not “Christian”, But a look at where Christmas Traditions came from.
