There'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting, and caroling out in the snow.

There'll be scary ghost on it.

Hello again, children.

It's Santa, with another edition of the Spooky Santa Podcast.

You'd better watch out.

You'd better not cry.

You better not pout because I'm here with some scary stories.

In fact, I have three more holiday tales to raise your goosebumps.

Today, I'll share a spooky Christmas story about a wealthy man, a sickly daughter, a cold winter,

some angry villagers, and a mysterious Christmas present, a sock puppet.

If you or your parents are a fan of Edgar

Alan Poe, well, you'll really like the last story I share called the Tell-Tale Scarf. But first,

it's a scary story for Christmas about a kid whose father and grandfather go from door to door

begging for money.

It's based on an old horror story by Bernard Capes called The Vanishing House.

My version of the story is called The Carol Singers.

And remember, if you want to write a scary story of your own, you can email it to Letters at Spooky Santa.com and I might read your story in an upcoming

episode.

Now bolt your doors, lock your windows, turn off your lights, pour a mug of hot cocoa,

and come with Spooky Santa for another holiday chiller.

Oh, hohohohohohoho.

My first story is called The Carol Singers.
