127: Episode 127: Haunted Holidays

Since the early days of European culture, winter tradition involved the telling of spooky tales while huddled around the fire. This oral tradition quickly made its way to the page with the advent of the printing press during the Industrial Revolution, and this became a beloved tradition all over modern Europe as well as the west. With the injection of modern capitalism into holiday celebration, this tradition sadly fell by the wayside. We refuse to let this stand. With this, a micro-anthology of Christmas ghost stories, we are reclaiming a bit of that treasured time spent around the fire with our loved ones. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
