Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
When America ran out of Santas during World War II what happened? Was Christmas cancelled while the men were overseas fighting? NOPE! The Rosie the Riveter spirit persisted, and WOMEN stepped up to the plate! But not everybody was happy about it.
Learn how these Santa Broads came to be, who loved them, who hated them, and most importantly - DID THEY WEAR THE BEARD, TOO?
Also, what the heck is the origin of Santa Clause and the modern American Christmas? When did Mall Santas emerge and why? All this and more in this special holiday episode of Broads You Should Know.
