Discover the unexpected and delightful stories behind some of our most cherished holiday traditions, from Saint Nicholas to nativity scenes to candy canes and Christmas stockings. We'll explore how pagan and Christian rituals magically merged into the holiday we celebrate today as well as several uniquely Italian customs, such as the Feast of the Epiphany and wearing red underwear!
