Culinary Christmas - December 23: Good King Wenceslas

Featured Foods: Feast of Stephen

The Glad Singers are back with their cheery tunes and made-up lyrics for popular Christmas songs. We first encountered them when they rewrote the words to "Joy to the World" during 2006's Under the Tree, A to Z theme. Today they jump in with their take on Good King Wenceslas. I just love the way that pronounce the title!

Why is this song included in our Culinary Christmas? Why, it features the "Feast of Stephen", of course!
