Are you ready for Creepy Christmas? Christmas hasn’t always been this holly and jolly. What’s the deal with that stupid Elf on the effing shelf? WHY do we have designated Christmas clothes? Why did we ever start putting old stinky socks up on our mantles in hopes that we’d get a PlayStation 5 shoved inside of it sometime next year? We answer all of these pressing questions AND MORE!! Like, where does the most racist Christmas tradition take place? (You’ll literally never guess) What does Christmas and the Oregon Trail have in common?? Is there a cute little kitty called the Yule Cat that throws up the world’s largest hairball? What’s exactly inside that hairball? So many questions answered and yet even more you might ask. So please, if you have questions, shoot us an email!
