A fairy tale from Byelorussia this week, "The Cottage in the Sky" collected by Neil Philip in the book, "Fairy Tales of Eastern Europe." It's a beanstalk type of tale with a very tasty house, kind mutant goats, and me attempting multiple accents.

Two stories this week! One from history and one fairy tale...
In 1726 fifty miles outside of London, 24 year old Mary Toft did something extraordinary -- she gave birth to rabbits. Many, many rabbits.
In "The Useless Wagoner" and "The King's Rabbits", our main character attempts to herd the King's hundred rabbits (WHY does the King have 100 rabbits??) while the King tries to set traps for our hero to fail at this task.

Song before credits: Björk - Jólakotturinn (Christmas Cat), 1987

This week, we are continuing our exploration of other characters that are not Santa. We learn how Belsnickel is different from Krampus and the importance of authority and fear at Christmas time. Then we get into Scandinavian folklore with the little gnomes who hang out on your property and braid your horse's hair as long as you leave out special porridge. And finally, we'll explain how arsonists attempt to set the biggest straw goat in the world on fire each year.

Double stories this week for Christmas! The first story is historical about Captain Santa and the Christmas Tree Ship on the waters of Lake Michigan making a late season run in a big storm. Check out the photo of the shipwreck on our FB page, Twitter or Instagram.
The second story is from Catalan culture about the Caganer, the mysterious figure in the back of nativity scenes...who appears to be taking a poop. Then my favorite, Caga Tió, the Christmas log or pooping log. You must take good care of your log and feed it good things so that it will poop out treats and gifts for you on Christmas. I'll be sharing several photos of the log and a video from our trip to Spain where I got to meet (and beat) the big one!
Song: Pooping Log (Caga Tió) ft. Norah Jones from Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Holiday Special 2011

This week's story is a great classic from Charles Dickens..."The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton." You'll find some...familiar elements, but with a lot more violence, alcoholism, and dark comedy. And a lion horse bear. Maybe.

We are continuing our celebration of Thanksgiving! This tale has family and eating....and takes place IN Turkey. That's close enough, right? Beware if your sister is Mrs. PacMan working some kind of weird Jedi mind trick. We learn the way to success involves threatening parents and taking their offspring hostage as well as littering.
This title of the story is a bit of a spoiler.....
I warned you!
It's called "The Cauldron-Headed Ax-Toothed Sister."
