What Do Santa and Wrestling Have In Common?
Season 2012 Episode 16 | 5m 8s
Idea Channel delves into the curious phenomenon of persistent, beloved modern myths.
People love Santa. Christmas is the largest holiday in western culture, and Santa Claus is the centerpiece of that holiday (sorry baby Jesus). But even though our understanding of Santa changes as we mature, we still maintain and cultivate our culture's love of him. And to understand why this is, we had to ask: Is our relationship with Santa similar to wrestling?
