Of the many traditions associated with the Christmas season, one of the biggest is food. Foods that are often eaten only at this time of the year and seldom outside of the season. 

Unlike other Christmas traditions, food can vary greatly in different places, as well as through time. Many Christmas foods eaten in the past can’t even be found today. 

Learn more about Christmas food and how these traditions differ around the world and throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In today's episode, he speaks to NPR's Elissa Nadworny about why he picked up knitting and crocheting, and how it's become a sort of meditative practice for him. His new book, Made With Love, dives into his passion for the craft, and offers readers tips and patterns to create anything from a scarf to a dog hat.

In northern Greece, lying off the larger Chalkidiki peninsula is a place that is unique on planet Earth. 

It only has a population of about 2,400 people scattered across 20 settlements and some random people living by themselves.  

What makes this area unique is that all 2,400 of its citizens are monks and all are men….and women are not allowed to even enter.

Author Kevin Powell grew up without much physical affection. He says the first time someone tried to hug him was in college; it felt like a foreign concept to him. In his new book of poetry, Grocery Shopping With My Mother, Powell examines his relationship with the single mother who raised him – the one he now cares for in her older age. He tells NPR's Scott Simon that writing becomes a way to heal and forgive, even if it means confronting a whole lot of hurt.

Today computers are ubiquitous. You are listening to this podcast right now on some sort of computing device. 

However, before computers were machines, the name computer was given to people. Computers were people who computed. 

In fact, the early days of NASA and the space program relied upon these human computers, most of whom were women. 

Learn more about NASA’s human computers and the role they played in the development of spaceflight on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
