3 Spooky Christmas Episodes

Throughout history, the cold, dark and hungry winter season had been infused with a certain spooky feeling of dread. Festivals like saturnalia, yule and eventually Christmas brought light to the darkness. But that lingering since of foreboding still underlines the festive season, no mater how much we make merry. Today let’s unearth 3 of my favorite early episodes, all on the theme of Spooky Christmas. In 10 Santa Alternatives from Around the World we’ll meet a Christmas witch from Italy and Krampus, a horrible Christmas demon from Germany. In 10 Christmas Villains we’ll meet pop culture festive baddies from Charles’ Dicken’s ghosts to Jack Skellington. And in Halloween Vs. Christmas we’ll compare my favorite holidays and see which one comes out on top! Please enjoy and Happy Holidays!
