The Some Weird Podcast

*Remastered* The Christmas Mummers


Listen Later

Happy Holidays to all! As we all gear up to wind down this dumpster fire of a year Crissy and Barry talk about Christmas Mummering in Newfoundland, a truly unique tradition of dressing up in the craziest of homemade disguises and traveling house to house performing and dancing for payment of booze and Purity syrup. Sounds fun, right? But, as always, there is a darker side. What happened to make this Christmastime tradition illegal for 100 years and how do horse skulls fit in?
