 Atlanta, 16 December 2015
God Jul!, as they say in the Nordic countries. Happy Christmas (Britain), Merry Christmas (U.S.)! Today's edition is the middle of three Christmas newsletters.
After last week's podcast on St. Nicholas, I recorded one more (see below). And if you're really into Xmas, consider Santa Claus: The Engineer's Perspective, Why it's fine to write Xmas, and even a piece on Hanukkah.

Christmas lingo: Don't be clueless
Come Yuletide, many seasonal terms are thrown about that are rarely spoken during the rest of the year. What's Yule? What are Magi? When are the "12 Days of Christmas"? Were Joseph and Mary really turned away from an inn? Why do people say Noël? These and other Christmas terms are identified and explained in a short podcast, with ample notes (15 minutes). Click to hear The 12 Terms of Christmas.
