Hello and welcome back! In this extra special episode, Hailey shared all about some of her favorite fixtures in global folklore that make their pretense known during the holidays. We’ve got naughty goblins, oafish trolls with a penchant for mischief, Christmas witches, and horned monsters set on punishing the naughty boys and girls for their wrongdoings. AND maybe an extra special fixture of Hailey’s childhood folklore will even make a brief appearance. We had a lot of fun making this! Buckle up, Yule Lads and Gryllas. This one’s a doozy!
