Why the Pilgrims BANNED Christmas—and Who Brought It Back (Part 2) - Bill Federer - Holiday Special | FOC Show
Friday, 26 December, 2025
On today’s Flyover Conservatives Show, we sat down with historian Bill Federer for a two-part Christmas holiday special unpacking the true history of St. Nicholas and the origins of many beloved Christmas traditions. In Part 1, we trace St. Nicholas from real-life ministry and persecution to stockings, “Xmas,” December 25th, and how Christmas customs formed across Europe. In Part 2, we explore why the Pilgrims and Puritans rejected Christmas, how Dutch “Sinterklaas” shaped modern Santa, and how culture, literature, and advertising reshaped the story over time.On today’s Flyover Conservatives Show, we sat down with historian Bill Federer for a two-part Christmas holiday special unpacking the true history of St. Nicholas and the origins of many beloved Christmas traditions.
