À propos de cet audio

This episode examines how families celebrated Christmas during the Great Depression, when unemployment, poverty, and scarcity redefined what celebration could mean. Barnaby shares stories of handmade decorations crafted from newspaper and popcorn, gifts sewn from scraps and carved from salvaged wood, and holiday meals cobbled together from almost nothing. He reveals how a single orange became a luxury gift, how children treasured simple homemade toys above all else, and how communities practiced mutual aid to ensure everyone had something for Christmas. The episode explores how scarcity forced families to focus on what truly mattered — creativity, presence, love made visible — and demonstrates that the most meaningful celebrations often emerge from necessity rather than abundance. It's a reminder that Christmas can survive, even flourish, when stripped of commercial excess.
