The Holidays Are Upon Us
Manage episode 227341134 series 2361306
One of the most well-known holiday traditions in southern Appalachia is the running of the Santa Train, which takes place on November 18th. Started as a way to show the appeciation of Kingsport, Tennessee, merchants for all the business they got from Southwest Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, the Santa Train has evolved into something akin to Santa and his reindeer, as the jolly old fellow tosses out presents and candy at every stop along the way from Kentucky to Kingsport.
And with the holiday season upon us, we also talk about holiday traditions and superstitions in Appalachia, of which there are many.
