The Legend of Poinsettia & Twelve by the Mail and The Snail and the Rosebush

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Come gather around the yule log and listen to some holiday tales: one with a big dose of colonialism (boo) before our favorite sad bisexual Victorian boy (yay!), Hans Christian Andersen brings the mood up for a change. Abbie tells a Mexican Christmas story about the poinsettia, or as we shall call it henceforth, cuetlaxōchitl (kwet-lah-SHO-shee-tl). Kelsey closes out 2025 with HCA’s new year’s tale, The Twelve Who Came by Mail, followed by The Snail and the Rosebush as a reminder to all of us to keep blooming and pay those who refuse no mind. Happy Holidays and see you next year!
