Christmas 2020 Episode: Winter Deities Hate Children

Happy Alcohol-idays! We’re back with our second holiday-themed episode after skipping the month of November (at this point none of us should be surprised, #sorrynotsorry). In what should also come as no surprise, Christmas/Winter deities are awful and hate children. Join us for a festive episode full of gift giving, beer drinking, and a bit of casual cannibalism as we delve into two new figures from holiday folklore. Please be advised no children were harmed in the making of this episode; we would also like to remind you that cannibalism and child abuse are frowned upon in most societies. We’d like to wish you all a happy holiday season, whatever you may be celebrating, and a fantastic start to 2020! Be merry, bright, and safe <3.
