This week we’re talking about St. Nicholas and how he transformed into Santa Claus. We also talk about the origins of Krampus and Belsnickel. We reminisce about some of our favorite and not so favorite Christmas memories and even manage to get a conspiracy theory in too. Pour a glass of eggnog, suck on a candy cane and get yourself into the holiday spirit on this week’s Homewrecker Podcast!
