00:01:11.947 --> 00:01:24.271

Frankie and Penny look like they're playing patty cake.

It's pretty great actually, because Frankie's on his hind legs.

I think it was his nose, but I'm not sure.
00:02:27.590 --> 00:02:28.312
That wasn't good.
00:02:28.512 --> 00:02:29.133

Okay, okay, christmas episode let's do this.
00:03:52.449 --> 00:03:54.110
I'm not going to ask you a question.
00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:57.536
Oh man, I'm going to ask you one, two, three, four, five questions.
00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:02.431
Oh dear, I wasn't told I had to study for a test.
00:04:04.001 --> 00:04:04.705
It actually kind of is.
00:04:04.766 --> 00:04:05.573
It's a quiz, oh Lord.
00:04:07.580 --> 00:04:12.782
So I'm going to ask the question but I do not want you to respond For the listeners.
00:04:12.782 --> 00:04:17.632
If you want to take the episode to think about the answers, I will say the answers at the end.
00:04:18.072 --> 00:04:18.353
Okay.
00:04:18.821 --> 00:04:20.026
Okay, so the first question.
00:04:20.026 --> 00:04:21.723
So ruminate in your mind.
00:04:22.045 --> 00:04:22.346
All right.
00:04:22.646 --> 00:04:23.267
First question.
00:04:23.488 --> 00:04:24.071
First question.
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.002
I had to swallow first, so ruminate in your mind.
00:04:27.023 --> 00:04:34.475
All right, first question, first question gotta swallow them peaches what was the first christmas carol broadcast from space?
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:44.394
oh, jesus number two okay what was the original name of the night before Christmas by Clement Clark Moore?
00:04:44.855 --> 00:04:45.196
Okay.
00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:54.745
How many packages does USPS deliver during the holidays, true or false?
00:04:54.745 --> 00:05:02.990
Jingle Bells was always a Christmas song, and the last one what's the highest grossing Christmas movie of all time?
00:05:02.990 --> 00:05:13.548
Okay, okay, so y'all ruminate, okay, ruminating so hold on while she burps everybody this.
00:05:14.028 --> 00:05:17.495
Um, this topic kind of stemmed from my mom.
00:05:17.495 --> 00:05:28.225
Um, she was reading I think she said she was reading the Oregon Trail book, because we grew up in Nebraska and it goes right through there.
00:05:28.225 --> 00:05:34.240
And she said during Christmas time she had a question for herself.
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:43.375
It was basically like why did people start celebrating Christmas in their homes as opposed to churches?
00:05:43.375 --> 00:05:48.788
And so she did her own research and so she suggested this topic for me.
00:05:48.788 --> 00:06:00.283
Okay, so I'm actually kind of going to expand a little bit off that and start with, like, the history of christmas kind of thing okay not quite the origin right like jesus
00:06:00.322 --> 00:06:07.750
christ like we know we don't need that, yeah but um more like modern day christmas it's um christmas traditions throughout history kind of thing.
00:06:07.899 --> 00:06:09.507
Yeah, I guess that's more like what I meant.
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:10.904
Okay, so it goes way back.
00:06:10.904 --> 00:06:11.307
Okay.
00:06:11.307 --> 00:06:22.012
Early Christians and Roman emperors actually tried to squash pagan practices, closing down sacred places and banning rituals and games that honored pagan gods.
00:06:22.012 --> 00:06:26.411
Yep, but getting everyday people to change their habits was a little rough.
00:06:27.341 --> 00:06:28.646
Yeah, I won't say anything.
00:06:28.646 --> 00:06:31.038
Okay, continue.
00:06:31.038 --> 00:06:33.107
I don't want to get yelled at again.
00:06:33.107 --> 00:06:37.427
We tried one thing and I got yelled at for answering, so I'm just going to let you keep going.
00:06:39.461 --> 00:06:42.230
So there is a thing called Saturnalia.
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.327
Yeah, Sheldon talks about it.
00:06:44.951 --> 00:06:45.252
Does he?
00:06:45.273 --> 00:06:46.598
Yeah, weeldon talks about it, does he?
00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:48.918
Yeah, we're talking about Big Bang Theory, correct?
00:06:48.918 --> 00:06:50.826
It is absolutely necessary to watch.
00:06:50.826 --> 00:06:53.588
It is, if you enjoy humor, which we do, great show.
00:06:53.588 --> 00:06:59.552
So Saturnalia is a super popular pagan festival that's been around for centuries.
00:06:59.552 --> 00:07:07.134
So it's a week-long Roman festival and it's held in mid-December, around the winter solstice, correct?
00:07:07.134 --> 00:07:10.208
And it's honoring the agricultural god, saturn.
00:07:10.228 --> 00:07:11.151
Oh duh.
00:07:12.762 --> 00:07:13.846
No, it's Jupiter.
00:07:14.461 --> 00:07:15.404
Oh, I thought it was Mars.
00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:19.490
And it's celebrated since the 5th century BCE.
00:07:19.490 --> 00:07:21.668
Wow Is a long time.
00:07:21.901 --> 00:07:23.788
I mean, that's a long time ago, yeah.
00:07:24.579 --> 00:07:30.120
So many of its traditions just ended up kind of getting folded into Christmas, correct.
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:37.372
So Saturnalia involved giving to friends and families gifts like candles and coins and food.
00:07:37.372 --> 00:07:38.581
Yep, less.
00:07:38.581 --> 00:07:46.704
Formal clothes were worn, games were played, feasts were enjoyed Pretty much everything I want to do.
00:07:49.069 --> 00:07:50.672
Play games and feast Exactly.
00:07:51.353 --> 00:07:52.725
Okay and open gifts.
00:07:52.846 --> 00:07:53.449
Well, that too yeah.
00:07:54.940 --> 00:07:59.050
So I don't like things because I have enough of things, but I still like things.
00:07:59.050 --> 00:08:01.202
You know, I am a product of the times.
00:08:01.202 --> 00:08:04.230
Okay, okay, moving on, he's looking at me funny, I am a product of the times.
00:08:04.250 --> 00:08:04.672
Okay, okay, moving on.
00:08:04.692 --> 00:08:05.473
He's looking at me funny.
00:08:05.473 --> 00:08:14.257
During the Middle Ages, which is about from 500 to 1500, christmas really took off and it became the biggest holiday of the year.
00:08:14.257 --> 00:08:27.762
A full 12 days, from Christmas Eve to January 5th, was celebrated, and things were generally quiet in the farmlands, and so that's kind of when they celebrated it right.
00:08:28.245 --> 00:08:35.485
Hence the 12 days of christmas so everyone, rich and poor, decorated their houses with greenery like holly ivy and mistletoe.
00:08:35.485 --> 00:08:40.201
Yep, so those plants have been special to the celts for ages.
00:08:40.201 --> 00:08:45.131
Um, and they, they thought that they kind of warded off bad luck and brought fertility.
00:08:45.572 --> 00:08:45.793
Okay.
00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:56.626
So you'd often see a huge mistletoe wreath hanging up, which is where the whole kissing under the mistletoe thing comes from, and then you'd pluck off a berry with each kiss.
00:08:57.148 --> 00:09:00.614
Oh, really, yeah, I didn't know that part of it Isn't that cute, that's adorable.
00:09:02.184 --> 00:09:02.847
It's adorable.
00:09:02.847 --> 00:09:03.019
What?
00:09:03.059 --> 00:09:05.225
happens when all the berries are gone.
00:09:06.248 --> 00:09:07.471
No more kissing oh shit.
00:09:07.471 --> 00:09:10.806
Yep, you got to wait for New Year's Eve then, I guess.
00:09:10.806 --> 00:09:12.991
So Yum yum, okay so.
00:09:13.861 --> 00:09:14.605
That was terrible.
00:09:17.041 --> 00:09:24.224
Well, christmas centered on celebrating Jesus Christ Superstar With church attendance.
00:09:24.224 --> 00:09:31.807
It was often mandatory to go, and local churches would put on um special services much like what you would see today.
00:09:31.807 --> 00:09:44.065
Right there were candlelights and unveiling of ornate altar pieces and there were choir performances and they um added songs and then dialogues, which are called troping.
00:09:44.787 --> 00:09:45.708
I've heard of that word.
00:09:45.908 --> 00:09:46.730
Really, I have not.
00:09:46.892 --> 00:09:47.613
I've heard of the word.
00:09:47.613 --> 00:09:48.884
I couldn't have told you what it meant.
00:09:48.946 --> 00:09:54.731
Yeah, so troping is just like added dialogue in between songs.
00:09:54.731 --> 00:10:03.168
Sure, so troping eventually led to the tradition of nativity plays, oh, complete with costumes and sometimes even live animals.
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.326
Well, I mean, yeah, that makes sense.
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.571
So people gave gifts at Christmas, inspired by the wise men's gifts.
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.264
I was going to say that's probably because they didn't have CGI back then.
00:10:12.264 --> 00:10:17.193
Right, probably Okay, no, yeah, Anyway, sorry, that was random.
00:10:18.081 --> 00:10:19.044
People gave gifts.
00:10:19.044 --> 00:10:21.866
Yes, inspired by the three wise men.
00:10:21.866 --> 00:10:28.705
Frankincense and myrrh and some gold inspired by the three wise men frankincense and myrrh, and some gold.
00:10:28.705 --> 00:10:29.486
Yeah, that's right, good job.
00:10:29.486 --> 00:10:38.351
Yeah, uh, rich people gave fancy clothes and jewelry, while poor folks were happy with like nicer food, some firewood, simple toys, more like necessities.
00:10:38.351 --> 00:10:47.352
Yeah, instead of frivolity exactly sometimes people who worked for lords had to give them extra food.
00:10:47.352 --> 00:10:48.565
Oh, that's a dick move.
00:10:48.565 --> 00:10:52.250
While the lords might give their workers clothes or winter supplies.
00:10:52.549 --> 00:10:52.912
Okay.
00:10:54.042 --> 00:10:55.628
So then there were gifts on New Year's Day.
00:10:55.628 --> 00:10:57.725
They called them first gifts.
00:10:58.268 --> 00:10:59.291
First gifts.
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.109
And people thought they could tell your luck for the whole year.
00:11:02.109 --> 00:11:14.421
So another thing was first footing, okay, and whoever was the first person to visit your house on new year's day, um, was going to be what the year would tell you.
00:11:14.421 --> 00:11:23.263
So, essentially, people wanted the first person coming to their house to be a dark-haired, flat-footed man.
00:11:23.263 --> 00:11:26.811
Apparently that was super lucky, really, yeah.
00:11:26.811 --> 00:11:39.503
So people would go out and sell it and go to each other's houses, and so just the first person who shows up at your door is what your, your future year is going to look like that is weird super.
00:11:40.143 --> 00:11:43.966
I mean a dark-haired flat-footed man, flat-footed man.
00:11:43.966 --> 00:11:44.865
Oh man.
00:11:45.486 --> 00:11:48.568
Okay, he got to have art support issues.
00:11:48.828 --> 00:11:51.990
No kidding, it's probably from the sandals they used to have to wear.
00:11:52.150 --> 00:11:55.493
Yeah, so food was a huge deal back then as well.
00:11:55.493 --> 00:12:00.316
Yeah, rich people really went all out serving things like roasted peacock.
00:12:01.035 --> 00:12:01.917
Must be at a zoo.
00:12:02.576 --> 00:12:14.245
What Must be at a zoo A swan or even a boar's head, plus salmon, oysters, nom noms for dessert.
00:12:14.245 --> 00:12:22.826
But dessert they had things like um nuts, oranges, cakes, fruit custards, figs, dates do they have figgy pudding?
00:12:24.889 --> 00:12:27.354
yes, let's just go with.
00:12:27.394 --> 00:12:32.583
Yes, yes they also drank um spiced wine, cider and ale, cool.
00:12:32.583 --> 00:12:46.328
So the big christmas meal was usually like an early lunch, and then they'd have all sorts of entertainment music, acrobats, jesters yeah, oh geez okay, isn't that cool I mean why don't I ever have christmas acrobats?
00:12:46.429 --> 00:12:46.971
what the hell?
00:12:46.971 --> 00:12:53.380
I feel like I've been missing out my whole life so things could actually get pretty wild at these parties.
00:12:53.380 --> 00:12:57.328
I would expect, especially with the, the cider and the yeah, the.
00:12:57.470 --> 00:13:01.101
Ale and all that um, so they would actually pick.
00:13:01.101 --> 00:13:15.931
So the 12th night, um, the night before, so January 5th, that night would tend to be the biggest parties because it's the end of the 12th night and they would actually pay watchmen to make sure no one wrecked anything.
00:13:16.311 --> 00:13:17.953
Oh, really yeah, that's funny.
00:13:18.841 --> 00:13:34.889
So while the wealthy feasted, the poor enjoyed simpler entertainment like cards, dice, carols, music, board games, storytelling, everything that we do I mean, oh hi, I'm poor, how are you?
00:13:34.889 --> 00:13:43.528
A popular game involved finding a bean in a special cake to become king for the day.
00:13:43.528 --> 00:13:46.441
Oh, do you think that's like the mardi gras cake and the king?
00:13:47.583 --> 00:13:49.248
what's the mardi gras cake and the king?
00:13:49.488 --> 00:13:56.279
isn't there like a mardi gras cake, where there's a king hidden inside and whoever has the king is king for the day, or whatever?
00:13:56.761 --> 00:13:57.264
if there is.
00:13:57.264 --> 00:14:03.830
I am not familiar with that tradition well, stay tuned for a future episode do you?
00:14:03.830 --> 00:14:06.220
Do you bring up the hiding, the pickle in the christmas tree at all?
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:13.582
I do not okay, I didn't hear about that till I moved to wisconsin I didn't know about that until I met sarah yeah.
00:14:14.344 --> 00:14:33.160
So churches, um, provided free public entertainment like puppet shows and pageants, and the medieval tradition of helping the less fortunate fortune also continued, with leftovers given to the poor, and some were even invited to like big christmas feasts and stuff like that.
00:14:33.160 --> 00:14:33.783
Nice, okay.
00:14:33.783 --> 00:14:44.764
So, as the middle ages wrapped up, the church didn't have quite as much control over everyone's lives, um though you still, at the time, had to go to church services by law, by law.
00:14:44.784 --> 00:14:45.488
That's just wild.
00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:52.630
But the reformation, which wasn't big on fancy church stuff, made Christmas services a bit less secular.
00:14:52.971 --> 00:14:53.292
Okay.
00:14:54.573 --> 00:15:04.196
Spectacular, not secular I was like Spectacular, spectacular.
00:15:04.196 --> 00:15:10.634
I swear this is my first beer of the day.
00:15:10.634 --> 00:15:30.370
Mine too you wouldn't know during the time of Queen Elizabeth the first, around 1558 to 1603, holy days, which people were starting to call holidays, were still a big deal, but people were also coming up with more non-religious things to do for fun.
00:15:30.370 --> 00:15:40.072
So Advent used to be a time for fasting before Christmas, starting in late November, but it was turning into more of a countdown to the 12 days of Christmas.
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:41.666
Hence the Advent calendar.
00:15:41.866 --> 00:15:50.008
Yeah, so more kids were also going to school at this point and they would have like two weeks off, so it was like a big countdown for them too.
00:15:50.179 --> 00:15:51.783
Well, yeah, because they were excited to have off.
00:15:51.783 --> 00:15:53.467
I mean I would be, I always was.
00:15:53.467 --> 00:15:55.552
So, I miss those.
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.208
People would keep getting gifts and being charitable.
00:15:58.208 --> 00:15:59.423
And then New Year's gifts.
00:15:59.423 --> 00:16:02.691
New Year's Day gifts were still a big thing as well.
00:16:03.111 --> 00:16:03.231
Okay.
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.062
Even Queen Elizabeth got fancy presents.
00:16:07.062 --> 00:16:10.711
We're talking jewels and grounds and grounds gowns.
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.888
I was going to say like grounds, like coffee rounds.
00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:14.462
Jewels and gowns.
00:16:14.462 --> 00:16:17.222
Tiaras Coffee gowns.
00:16:18.668 --> 00:16:19.470
Tiaras.
00:16:20.179 --> 00:16:26.754
The regular folk gave things like pins and gloves or fruit.
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:29.225
Did you ever see Queen Elizabeth I's gloves?
00:16:29.225 --> 00:16:32.385
No, she had ridiculously long fingers.
00:16:32.385 --> 00:16:33.981
Yeah, yeah, like.
00:16:33.981 --> 00:16:37.303
I'll have to show you a picture sometime, because they still have her gloves.
00:16:37.303 --> 00:16:37.986
Like yeah.
00:16:37.986 --> 00:16:43.528
Somewhere, somewhere, wherever the fuck that is that they're kept and they're like weird.
00:16:44.581 --> 00:16:56.520
She had really weird hands so everyone was looking forward to the feud, the food okay maybe I need more drink people are gonna fight over that.
00:16:57.543 --> 00:16:59.928
The food, the food feud, the food feud.
00:17:00.269 --> 00:17:11.551
Oh lord, I can't say that too many times um, the christmas feast had gotten so huge that it took way longer to get ready, so the holiday started earlier on Christmas Eve afternoon.
00:17:11.732 --> 00:17:12.094
Weird.
00:17:12.596 --> 00:17:14.865
Yeah, and now Christmas Day itself.
00:17:14.865 --> 00:17:17.369
The 25th was the main day for parties and celebrations.
00:17:17.369 --> 00:17:18.010
Huzzah.
00:17:18.432 --> 00:17:18.853
Huzzah.
00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:34.028
Houses were still decked out with greenery and candles and the Christmas feasts were full of meat and seafood stuff people usually wouldn't eat on like a regular basis, right, they loved pies and spiced fruit cakes, nuts, pickled pork.
00:17:34.429 --> 00:17:38.800
They called it brawn like I'm pretty sure nathan would like pickled pork.
00:17:38.861 --> 00:17:39.541
He likes pickled.
00:17:39.541 --> 00:17:40.482
Anything, does he?
00:00:10.313 --> 00:00:12.355
00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:14.503
