Join us as we explore holiday traditions with characters that actually involve spankings!!! 

How would you feel about sitting on Krampus' lap and confessing you’ve been a naughty girl or naughty boy and asking for your spanking? 

Are you Team Krampus or Team Belsnickel?

Maybe we just need to come up with a new Stress Relief Spanking Holiday to counteract the stress of the holidays.

Mr Christmas himself as seen on Netflix, Benjamin Bradley, joins the pod again! He talks with Rikki about vintage Christmas candy containers. It used to be a real hunt to find such treasures, but the Internet makes it easier now. And there are some incredible pieces.

Christmas is quickly approaching. A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of sitting down with my dear friend JL Gillham. We had a fun conversation about the villains of Christmas, exploring their folkloric backgrounds. We also discussed the first book in her Winter Wonderland Chronicles, Princess Claus and the Great Escape.

This week we cover 5 creepy Christmas cryptids. To be fair, most of them are winter cryptids, but over the years have become associated with Santa and his whole deal. So here we are, introducing you to new nightmares just in time for Christmas!
