It’s the last podcast of the year, during the 12 days of Christmas—a good time to discuss 2 Christmas “witches” that seek out naughty children—and adults—to either cannibalize them or cut them open and stuff them full of straw. It’s Austria’s Frau Perchta and Iceland’s Gryla, two witch figures of the Christmas “naughty or nice” lore with interesting origins and connections to our more well-known Christmas stories.
