Christmas wasn't always the family-centered consumer-oriented holiday it is today. It was celebrated as a rowdy festival of misbehavior for centuries, then was banned by the Puritans, reinvented in the 1820s, and it continues to evolve to this day. Join us 8:00 Sunday evening for Naughty and Nice: A History of the Holiday Season with the American History Guys.
