Our second season finale dives into the origin of one of the most iconic symbols of many during this time of year: The Christmas Tree.
We go into how exactly people started bringing trees into their house in the middle of winter, how they started lighting them, why Thomas Edison and Martin Luther are involved, and why exactly Christmas trees were the reason that house insurance had to get changed all the way in the 19th century.
This is the second season finale, so there will be a break while I work on season 3.
If you are wanting more Christmas "cheer" in that particular What?! Explain. way, may I suggest our episode entitled "The Special Relationship", which tells of that rock-steady relationship between Canada and the United States, and absolutely how they didn't each have invasion plans to take the other out. Nope. Not at all.
