097 - Christmas and Other Holiday Creatures

Despite Bob’s better judgment, here we are. Talking about giant black cat that eats you if you don’t get new clothes around the holiday season. To appease Count Panek this year, Bob dives back into Christmas and other Holiday Creatures lore. You know Yule Cat, and Krampus. You know Frau Perchta and La Befana. However, do you know about Hans Trapp, the Christmas killer scarecrow? How about Grýla? She was the beast who owns the Yule Cat and mothers the Yule Lads. These are not the Christmas stories we are taught as children. Also, there maybe some Krampus mentioned here as well.
