night before christmas

We make a holiday classic creepy! ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, originally known as ‘A Visit from St. Nicholas,’ was first published in 1823 in the Troy, New York, Sentinel. While it is well-known for shaping the modern image of Santa Claus, what’s lesser-known — and equally intriguing — is the mystery-shrouded controversy over who truly authored this iconic work. In the episode, we share the story and our special spooky version of the tale – which is not recommended for children or easily frightened adults. Happy Haunted Holidays!

This week, I read an adaptation of Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit from St. Nicholas," or as it's more commonly know, "The Night Before Christmas." That's right, I went ahead and ruined a classic for a shameless Christmas special.
