About this listen

It's the most wonderful time of year - Merry Christmas & Blessed Yule!

Not sure what Yule is? Well, sit down for a little history lesson as we talk about some of history and traditions of Yuletide, including a yule tree, mistletoe, gift giving and feasts. Sounds a lot like modern day Christmas, right? Except Yule predates Christianity and the Christmas holiday.

Last December we covered Krampus, the hairy goat demon who struck fear into children during this time of year. Well, Krampus is just one of many holiday season lures that helped keep kids in line. Enter Kallikantzario, the Greek goblins that terrorized households during the 12 days of Christmas.

Finally, 3 stories are covered of people who've experience arguable one of the scariest things - being buried alive! Tune in to find out if they made it out of their coffin to tell the tale and who wasn't quite as fortunate.
