Readings on mistletoe beliefs across Europe and Canada show folk cures, protective charms, and superstitions tied to Christmas. Ancient Druids and Greeks revered the plant while Romans celebrated Saturnalia. Christmas cards gained gradual popularity after 1840s innovations.
CBC presents A Christmas Carol at 2 p.m. with March as Scrooge and Rathbone as Marley’s Ghost. Rodgers Wagner Chorale performs, plus Moscow State Circus acts and a Nativity adaptation The Three Shepherds. Royal addresses, carols, and other holiday fare fill the schedule.

Mince pies tied to medieval Yuletide customs with cradle-manger shapes.
