A very Krampus Christmas: The Dark Spirits of Christmas Past | Dark History

European Xmas madness

(Bailey Sarian) ✨ Dark History ✨ Friends, happy day! Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Is there anything as cozy as a Christmas tree? When one looks at it, what does one think? Family, holidays, presents, hot cocoa, singing carols, good times, and so on. But ever look at a Christmas tree and think about a chopped off d*ngle? It turns out we should. In today’s episode we get into the dark history of four of our favorite holiday traditions: Christmas trees, gingerbread, Christmas cards, and Krampus.

Trust me when I tell you, some of this information really jingled my bells. I appreciate everyone for coming by. Tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey merch? Shop Season 2 Dark History merch: www.baileysarian.com
