Merry Krampus! And Happy Holidays! This Boxing Day episode we discuss some characters of Christmas/Yule/Winter Holiday folklore from different cultures including Frau Perchta, La Befana, Caga Tio, and everyone's favorite, most beloved of them all, Krampus! Sadly we couldn't cover all the interesting folklore figures but we encourage you to do some research of your own! Check out Piper CJ on Instagram and Tiktok (she has a Masters in Folklore), read books such as "The Scary Book of Christmas Lore: 50 Terrifying Yuletide Tales from Around the World (Dark Fairy Tales And Folklore)" by Tim Rayborn, and/or watch the movie Krampus.
We hope you have a wonderful, relaxing holiday season. Comment to share some of your culture's favorite folklore tales and holiday traditions with us! Alright, I'm going to go ride the Yule Cat into town to get some last-minute ingredients for cookies.
