The War on Christmas: E63 The Reindeer Hunter

What this episode covers

The shuffle boys return to the world of geopolitics and war with an episode on the most traumatic and devastating war of the 2000s: The War on Christmas. This label was a shorthand for a frenzy within the right wing media sphere around the changing nature of the Christmas season in the 2000s. They walk through some primary source documents from the time, explain what exactly this conflict was all about, and have some fun at the expense of the most histrionic voices of the right. Then they zoom out and look at the long history of debates around and changes to the celebration of Christmas all the way back to Early Modern Europe. Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠ And on Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠ to interact with the show between episodes. It also makes it easier to book guests. This history of Christmas book we read from in the 2nd half is Stephen Nissenbaum’s The Battle for Christmas.
