On this festive Round Robin, we're taking Christmas off the nice list and digging into the weirdest holiday facts you’ve probably never heard. Why do Catalonians hide a pooping figurine in their Nativity scenes? Why does Japan eat KFC for Christmas dinner? And why did Massachusetts once make Christmas illegal?

From Victorian ghost storytelling traditions to Iceland’s 13 mischievous Yuletide trolls, we’re bringing you bizarre global customs, strange history, Santa lore, and some jaw-dropping holiday trivia that’ll wow your family at dinner. Funny, weird, and unexpectedly dark — this is Christmas like you’ve never heard it before.

Perfect for holiday car rides, dinner table interventions, or just flexing your festive knowledge.
