Merry Creepmas

Harpy Holidays everyone! This episode doesn't contain any Harpies, but monster puns are hard. Despite the lack of Harpies, please enjoy learning about a few much under-celebrated Christmas monsters.*Disclaimer: this episode contains mentions of holiday themed evisceration, as well as gratuitous child-eating and minor mentions of corporal punishment. Please use your discretion in determining if your child is ready to handle these topics.*Lets Be SocialFacebook:www.facebook.com/monstersadvocate/Tumblr:monstersadvocate.tumblr.com/Twitter:@monstersadvoEmail: [email protected]:Saber-tooth Catshttps://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/140401112022.htmhttp://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/did-humans-coexist-saber-cats/Herschel and the Hanukkah Goblinshttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/496802.Hershel_and_the_Hanukkah_GoblinsThe Yule CatJólakötturinn (National Museum of Iceland)http://web.archive.org/web/20050108092720/http://www.simnet.is/gardarj/yule11.htmFrau BerchtaGrimm 1882:280–81Smith, John B.
