Christmas, a holiday often associated with joy, lights, and festive gatherings, has a rich tapestry of traditions that go beyond carols and gifts. At its heart, Christmas is a celebration of love, hope, and kindness. Yet, woven into this season are stories that range from sacred and saintly to eerie and mysterious—a blend of history, folklore, and faith that gives Christmas its unique depth and charm.
We will talk about The Krampus, The Yule Lads + our favourite La Befana the Christmas Witch!
But let us not forget that this holiday season, we embrace the true spirit of Christmas—a celebration of compassion, generosity, and wonder. Whether through the birth of our sweet baby Jesus the giving of Saint Nicholas, or the ancient legends that add mystery to the season, Christmas invites us all to believe in something greater, blending the mystery with a touch of magic.
