Ho-Ho-Hold on to your stockings, folks! This week on Parababble, we're unwrapping a side of Christmas that's far from holly jolly. We're diving headfirst into the dark and gruesome underbelly of festive folklore, where naughty kids aren't just getting coal... they might be getting cooked in a stew!
Forget sugar plum fairies and reindeer games, we're talking about Grýla, the Icelandic troll who feasts on disobedient children, and Frau Perchta, who disembowels the lazy and fills their stomachs with garbage. It's a yuletide yarn spun with nightmares and goosebumps, but fear not! We'll be doing our best to keep things light, even when discussing the gruesome details.
So, grab your eggnog and spiked cocoa, because this holiday season, we're about to turn the "merry" in Christmas into "merry macrabe." Join us for an episode that's guaranteed to leave you both horrified and strangely entertained. It's Parababble, and this time, we're serving up your holiday with a side of monsters and murder.
