"“Silent Night” is not that silent after all."

"From ho ho hum tracks by Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber to bah humbug tunes by AC/DC and Afroman, these are the holiday songs you really need to avoid."

"A stone marker and sculpture in the city of Riga stake a claim for the very first community Christmas tree."

"As an American living in Britain in the 1990s, my first exposure to Christmas pudding was something of a shock. I had expected figs or plums, as in the “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” carol, but there were none. Neither did it resemble the cold custard-style dessert that Americans typically call pudding."

"Good news! A Charlie Brown Christmas is going to stream for free on Apple TV+ on December 16th and 17th for those without a subscription."
