Join Jen and Dagda for their milestone 50th episode as they unwrap the fascinating history behind Christmas traditions! Discover the true story of St. Nicholas of Myra—from rescuing girls from prostitution to resurrecting murdered children. Learn about the evolution from Sinterklaas and Black Pete to the modern Santa Claus, and dive deep into the dark folklore of Krampus, the horned Christmas demon who punishes naughty children. Explore how German and Dutch immigrants shaped American Christmas celebrations, why the Austrian government banned Krampus in the 1950s, and how commercialism has transformed the holiday. A perfect blend of history, humor, and holiday spirit!
