i enjoy history. There are so many things that have happened to make us what we are today, and how our beliefs and traditions came about. So many people didn't know Christmas was outlawed in so many places for so many years. That all the things that make our Christmas traditions are so much older than when the supposed main reason for Christmas happened. There are so many origins of the traditions that are denied by so many that are explored in this episode. Religions have changed through time, as they are influenced by so many factors, and this event is discussed as are also how various countries have played major roles in the way we now celebrate the day, time and reason. If you have a closed mind, you won't enjoy the dvd. If you don't think that Christmas has changed from it's inception, you won' t like this dvd. If you think Christmas, as it is known and celebrated now, is and has always been as it is, you won't enjoy this. I feel there is much that wasn't touched on, some of it religious, and I don't know why except maybe there was a time limit. Or those involved in making this episode weren't aware of them, but for the most part, the story told covers a great many items that show how the day/event came about. I would caution those that like to collect these stories that the History Channel made another dvd with a slightly different name and artwork that is actually the same story. It is called Christmas Unwrapped-the History of Christmas. Read full review

Bought this DVD after seeing the program on the History Channel. Wonderful presentation that stirred up many fond childhood memories! I would highly recommend this "history" of Christmas to anyone who desires to know. Very informative in a fun kind of way!
Great DVD, covers EVERYTHING about Christmas. The History Channel videos are the BEST! An education about our traditions, as well as humorous. A perfect group of videos to start the holiday season.
Great DVD. It is exactly what I wanted when explaining the origin of Christmas and its traditions. Wonderful teaching tool for my students. Thank you.
