Slavils, cookies, stockings by the fire.

In some parts of the world, the cozy parts of Christmas are offset by beatings, whippings, and kidnappings by a Christmas devil.

If you've been naughty this year, watch out for this week's topic, Krampus.

A demon or worse, perhaps you're the victim of a witch's curse.

It's hopeless, you're doomed, you'd call a priest if you could.

You'd rather just listen to who, sinister, whoo.

I'm gonna kill you.

I think we've talked about before, when we both discovered Santa was not real.

I still believe in Santa because my mom told me when I was a kid, if we didn't, we didn't get put in this.

Yes, my mom still says we should all believe in the spirit of Santa.

But when did you, as a child, make the connection that, oh, this is my parents.

A little bit of a late, little, I think maybe like 11, like 11 or 12.

So it was when I was a very six grade?

Yeah, because my, a kid at school, if I remember correctly, a kid at school told Shannon, my older sister, she's five years older than me,

when Shannon was like 10 or 11.

So I would have been like five or six.

So shitty of that kid.

I know.

And she came home and told my mom and my mom probably did what we called the Nancy death pinch, which in the pit of your arm says,

you cook your arm like a Barbie doll, you know, like, yeah.

And she'd shove her thumb right on that nerve that like, it's like a tendon that drives her arm together and she'd mash on it.

And apparently she said, it do not tell your sister or there will be no Christmas.
