Historic Holiday Traditions

New England is a wellspring of information on some of the winter holidays' most precious traditions. We'll talk with Betsy Garrett, the Vice President of Collections and Interpretation at Strawbery Banke about some of the great but lesser-known practices of holidays past.

And NHPR correspondent Sally Hirsh takes us inside Santa's village for an interview with the big man himself.

We'll also hear from listeners who shared their favorite holiday stories with us, and Eartha Kitt purrs her version of "Santa Baby".
