The Forgotten History of: Old Christmas - A Story Of Tradition & Values

There was a time in America when Christmas didn’t belong to malls, marketing departments, or whatever ugly LED inflatable your neighbor bought at Walmart.
There was a time when the holiday felt older… heavier… sacred.

When the world switched calendars in the 1500s, Christmas got yanked 11 days forward—but the people of the mountains didn’t bend. They held the line. They kept December 25 as holy… and crowned January 6 as “Old Christmas,” the day the real magic was said to walk the hills.

In the hollers of Appalachia and the backroads of Kentucky, folks whispered that animals spoke at midnight, spirits crossed from the old world to the new, and blessings were strongest when the world stood still. Old Christmas wasn’t a date— it was a doorway. A return to simplicity. A rebellion against the rush of modern life.

This video isn’t just a history lesson.
It’s a resurrection.
A reminder that some traditions refuse to die because they were forged in something timeless.

Step into Old Christmas… and remember what the world has forgotten.
