In this week’s open-discussion episode of Past Present Pushback, XO, AZ, and CDA dive deep into the true origins of Christmas—far beyond the traditions, decorations, and stories most of us grew up with.

We explore where the holiday actually comes from, how ancient winter festivals shaped what we celebrate today, and why the meaning of Christmas has evolved across cultures and generations. Each of us brings our own perspective as we unpack the historical roots, the religious influences, and the modern shifts that have turned Christmas into the global celebration it is now.

This episode challenges assumptions, corrects misconceptions, and brings clarity to a holiday that means something different to everyone. Whether you celebrate for faith, family, culture, or community, this conversation offers insight, reflection, and a deeper understanding of what Christmas has truly represented—past, present, and beyond.

A thoughtful, educational, and eye-opening discussion for listeners who want to learn, think, and question.
