In this Zeitgeist episode, we're feeling festive as we dive into holiday traditions from around the world. Carmen and Stephen compare the Christkind to Santa Claus and explore the wild world of St. Nicholas and Krampus—because what's Christmas without a satanic helper? But we don't stop at Austria and the U.S.; there's a delightful sidebar about how Christmas is celebrated in Japan, from fried chicken to commitment to kitsch. Whether you're team Christkind, Santa, or Colonel Sanders, this episode has something for everyone who loves a good holiday tradition.
