Ep. 40: Christmas Monsters
Episode description
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! Are you tired of the same old boring Santa? Great news! Hannah has a list of some of Santa's lesser known counterparts from around the world! Join Katy in learning about a cannibalistic butcher who turned his life around (sorta) when he met St. Nick, undead werewolves that turn into vampires, pesky mountain trolls that lick your doorways and steal your sausages, and plenty more!
This one is just in time for the holidays. And if your kids have been undeterred by Elf on a Shelf, then you'll definitely want to take notes, because this episode has lots of ideas on how to traumatize your kids into behaving!
Pour some eggnog, ignore your family for an hour, and enjoy!
