episode 89: The Hyphy History of Christmas: Pagans, Libations, and Creepy Krampus


Our founding sister CJ, queen of the bottomless mimosas, is back on the mic for a super special Christmas themed episode! That's right folks, the band is back together again to chat about the witchy folklores of Christmas! Melissa kicks off the show with a Pagan history lesson, the evolution of "Christian" Christmas, and an overview of Christmas traditions we hijacked from the Pagans. CJ introduces Melissa to The Krampus, St. Nicholas' horned demonic assistant who scares misbehaved children.
