Father Leo discusses how to bring back the Catholic meaning of Christmas in a world that often replaces Christ with consumerism and secular symbols like Santa Claus. He shares powerful, joyful, and practical traditions that Catholics can revive—from Advent wreaths and Jesse trees to the celebration of Simbang Gabi, the Christmas Octave, and St. Nicholas Day. With humor and depth, he encourages intentional celebrations rooted in Scripture, culture, and faith. The episode highlights how these practices not only reclaim Christmas but also deepen family and community connection. Viewers are inspired to make Christmas more meaningful by truly making it more Catholic.
