Merry Christmas, everyone! May the Lord's peace and blessings be upon you and your family. The Didactic Mind podcast returns for Christmas with reflections upon what the day means, and why it is so important. I talk about the reasons why this day matters, how its significance translates into our everyday lives, and where the Christmas tradition of gift-giving comes from. I also talk about how things have changed, particularly in terms of trust in institutions, since the time of Christ, and how His life and times serve as both a template and a warning for our own. I finish off by discussing the great Arian Heresy, and how St. Nicholas straight-up JAP-SLAPPED A HERETIC in the face at the Council of Nicaea, and why this matters for our present day.
