Do not let the one poor review here put you off watching this documentary. It has high reviews on other websites that feature this episode. The only con is, it needed to be longer, and I’m not the only person who has said this. Though a few things were a little off.. such as Americans using pumpkins for Jack-o-lanterns.. this gives the impression that people “native” to America did this. When, in fact it was Irish immigrants, as they were the only ones that had this tradition. The Jack-O-Lantern being from their own mythology of Stingy Jack. They also started the pranking traditions, but that is accurately covered. ^_^

We rented this to get the real history of Xmas. We have seen Xmas unwrapped, and hoped this was in the same genre. It was not. It was more of a Xmas show, and didn’t give much in the way of pertinent information. I would not recommend this one, but I would Xmas unwrapped.
