Reading the shownotes? Love that for you. Welcome to What You Don’t Know About Christmas.
In this episode we talk about Christmas Blunderlands, that annual tradition of press stories about crappy Christmas attractions. Disgruntled parents, crying kids, smoking elves and swearing Santas, we’ve got the lot.
Big content warning for the F word and we don’t mean festive. When I say cover your kid’s ears I mean it. 12.15-13.15, if you want to skip it.
No trigger warnings but it might be worth stating the shows Santa policy. We believe. We make it clear the Santa’s mentioned in this episode are clearly imposters so you can listen in confidence that there will be no spoilers concerning the man in red.

If you hear anything you think needs correcting, get in touch. If there’s anything you would like to know, get in touch! I’d also love to hear your own Christmas traditions whether it’s specific to your family, your country, or your culture.
