We're taking some time off for Christmas, so here's one from the archives!  Ho Ho Ho, we're back with more Christmas content for all you Whos down in Whoville. This week, we talked with Pamela Klassen, a professor in the study of religion at the University of Toronto. She edited a rad collection of essays called The Public Work of Christmas and we're excited to talk with her and figure out what Christmas is all about! You can check out a preview of her book here: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Public_Work_of_Christmas/7FWXDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0Music from NAVIDAD EN LIBERTAD ~ Carlos Mejia Godoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DGwBQzsW4Q*Support The Magnificast on Patreon* http://patreon.com/themagnificast*Get Magnificast Merch* https://www.redbubble.com/people/themagnificast/og-shop?asc=u Thanks to our monthly supporters Keenan Dolan Ramona Riley Jane De Las Casas Theo Jack Molly Grisham Laura caitlin Brittyn James Thomas Thomas Finley Matthew Joseph Marx TheAllTomato Sanjay Kumarendran steve morley Jessica C Matt Lori Petrie Mark Vinzani Michael Daniels Stacy’s Mom Craig Conrad Larson Kamran Mirza Jason Bartholomew Cooper Elizabeth Dale Ashton Adams Chris Mullikin Michael McGarry Davis Roberts Clarke Matthew Klippenstein Kevin Ethan Milich Philip Nelson Ribs Michael Lee Rodolfo Urquieta Cortes James Thomas Korbin Painter Mark De La Paz Lea Mae Rice ChrisJ Gill Erik Mohr Joe Kruse illi Robert Shine Kurt XxXJudasdidnothingwrongXxX Maxwell Lorena Rivera Soren Harward Christian Noakes David Wadstrup Óscar John Salcedo Austin Gallyer Harrison g Randall Katie Marascio Elias Jacob D Francisco Herrera Michael Dimitras Jacob S Leigh Elliot Tyler Adair Catherine Harrison Zachary Elicker Kasey Erin Archambeault Mikegrapes Kate Alexander Calderon Alejandro Kritzlof Caleb Strom Shandra Benito Andrew McIntosh Peter Shaw Kerrick Fanning Josh Johnson Jonathan Taylor Jennifer Kunze Damon Pitiroi Yroffeiriad Matt Sandra Zadkovic Stephanie Heifner Patrick Sweeney Felicia Aaron Morrison lexiiii Leslie Rodriguez Sarah Clark Timothy Trout Kinsey Favre Name Colm Moran Stewart Thomas Lonnie Smith Brendan Fong Kylie Riley Darren Young Josh Kerley koalatee Tim Luschen Elizabeth Davis Lee Ketch Austin Cyphersmith Ashton Sims Fin Carter Ryan Euverman Tristan Turner Emily Linzi Stahlecker Matthew Alhonte John Samson Fellows alex zarecki rob Kathryn Bain Stephen Machuga zane Collin Majors Victor Williams Daniel Saunders Andrew Brian Nowak erol delos santos Aaron Forbis-Stokes Josh Strassman Cal Kielhold Luke Stocking Sara Trey Brian S.
