FOLKLORE: Santa & His Creepy Little Helpers

So with the festive season firmly under way and Christmas just around the corner, I thought we’d have a bit of a change of pace this week, have a bit of fun and learn more about a darker, creepier side to Christmas. And as we’ll find out, it’s not all about the jolly bearded fatman, his army of rosy-cheeked elves in the toyshop and the bright nosed reindeer that pull’s his sleigh. We’ve got fork-tongued devils, creepy scarecrows, increasingly controversial pirate dwarves, and a porridge-loving witch to name but a few! So, you best be good, boys and girls – or you might get visited by one of this creepy Christmas contingent, who’ll do a bit more than just leave coal in ya stocking.
