On first day of Minute Women Christmas, Linnea and Grace gave to me... a Bostonian Christmas Tree!

In this minisode, we revisit the Halifax Explosion to deep dive on the beloved Christmas tradition it spurred. Following the devastating 1917 explosion, the city of Boston sent aid workers, supplies, and funds to help Halifax get back on its feet. Some of those aid workers even stayed through the Christmas season. In 1918, Halifax sent Boston a Christmas tree as a small token of gratitude. A tree was once again sent in 1971, and ever since the Tree for Boston has become an annual tradition.
