  • Résumé

  • Travel to the land of fire and ice as we uncover the peculiar antics of Iceland's Yule Lads, a mischievous bunch that might leave you gifts or last week's potatoes! We kick off with a whirl through the winter wonderland of Christmas traditions, from the chilling tales of an ogre mother to the Yule Cat's fashion policing. It's a festive exploration that promises to fill your stocking with laughter and maybe a few shivers, as we weave through the evolution of these stories from their dark origins to the more family-friendly versions told today. Then, buckle up as we take a detour into the world of winter folklore and age-old traditions with our jovial guest, Jimmy. From deciphering the true meaning of the Yule log to chuckling over the Welsh tradition of Mari Lwyd, we're riding hobby horses into a historical holiday hootenanny. Our jolly jaunt comes to a close with a lighthearted confusion in minuscule Delaware, proving that even the smallest places can hold the grandest of tales. So, join us by the fireside, dear listeners; this episode is our gift to you, wrapped in mirth and merriment. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good chuckle!

    Everything on what to do after the episode.
