It's getting to be that time of year again. The time where we all try to be on our best behavior so we don't make it on you know who's naughty list. Just so we're clear, we mean the list that gets you snatched up, put into a giant sack and then dumped straight into hell. Who's list did you think we meant? We were talking about Krampus of course. He is just one of the dark tales surrounding Christmas and the winter solstice. Dan wants to tell us a little about him as well as some other......interesting takes on the celebration of the season. Warm up some cocoa, grab some Figgie pudding and don't forget your horse skull! This is gonna be a festive one.
