Tuesday, December 21, 2021 – We may think of Santa as a somewhat modern American invention, but the legend draws on many ancient traditions. We visit with Tom Jerman, the author of Santa Claus Worldwide: A History of St. Nicholas and Other Holiday Gift-Bringers. ~~~ Sue Balcom is here for Main Street Eats to talk Christmas traditions. ~~~ Matt Olien reviews West Side Story & The Real Charlie Chaplin.
