Ever feel like Halloween is just a candy-fueled costume contest and Christmas is a stressful, month-long shopping marathon? You’re not alone. The deep, sacred roots of our favorite holidays have been buried under a mountain of marketing—but it’s time we dug them up

In this episode, we’re reclaiming the true spirit of the season from the corporate playbook. We’re going on a historical deep dive to:

🕯️ HALLOWEEN'S HOLY ORIGINS: Discover how "All Hallows' Eve" is the ancient Catholic vigil for All Saints' Day. We'll uncover the stunning meaning behind trick-or-treating (it was originally for prayers!), why we dressed as saints, and how the spooky fun points to a profound truth about life, death, and the Communion of Saints

⭐ CHRISTMAS BEFORE CONSUMERISM: Uncover the surprising history of how Christmas was once ILLEGAL in America and how it was reborn as a family holiday, only to be co-opted by corporations. We'll separate the pagan myths from the theological genius and explore how the season of Advent is meant to be a time of penitent preparation, not premature celebration

This isn't about canceling the fun—it's about rediscovering the joy, meaning, and power that made these holidays endure for centuries. Let's replace holiday exhaustion with sacred anticipation and commercial frenzy with authentic celebration

Monday through Friday: 9 am - 12:30 pm, Pacific Time
