Jeff Belanger returns to celebrate the scariest, most violent and dangerous holiday \u2013 Christmas! His new book, \u201cThe Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters, Witches, and Ghosts,\u201d details the real reasons we put up trees, hang stockings, string up lights, and exchange gifts this time of year, and it actually has nothing to do with Santa Claus or even religion. He discusses how monsters, goblins, ogres and witches from other cultures around the world morphed into the merry festivities of the season today. And he shares the stories and legends behind Krampus, the elf-like TomTen, Karakoncolas, the Gryla, and the Yule Cat! Naughty children beware!\n\nBuy \u201cThe Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters, Witches, and Ghosts\u201d\nhttps://jeffbelanger.com/playlist/the-fright-before-christmas-surviving-krampus-and-other-yuletide-monsters-witches-and-ghosts/ \n\nThank you for supporting our sponsors!\nBrunt Workwear: Go to https://BruntWorkwear.com/TIJ and use code TIJ to get $10 off your first order plus free shipping and returns.\nBetter Help: TIJ is sponsored by Better Help.
