Christmas Past Podcast – Backstory: The Mari Lwyd with Jeff Belanger

The mostly warm, fuzzy, cozy, sanitized Christmas is mainly a product of 19th and 20th century American influence. In earlier times, Christmas had a spooky side — one example of which is the Welsh tradition of the ghostly gray mare: the Mari Lwyd. Jeff Belanger joins Christmas Past Podcast host Brian Earl to talk about The Fright Before Christmas and the Mari Lwyd.
