Who is Grandfather Frost? Let’s Explore Russian Santa Claus!

In this episode we kick off the Christmas season (the -ber months) first with a new feature! I’m giving a Christmas movie recommendation, a TV episode/special recommendation and a Christmas book recommendation at the start of each episode, please commend and email us with how you think the recommendation went! Next, we take a look into the Russian Santa Claus: Ded Moroz, also known as Grandfather Frost. With a deep history going back well before Saint Nicholas and many Western Christmas figures, this magical man has a fascinating history and a great story as well. We also talk about some related Eastern European characters and finish with part 3 of the story of Santa Claus and how he knows so many languages, how did he learn them and why?

Snowmen: From Frosty to Abominable

Apologies about the sound quality on this episode, my voice sounds canned almost. I wasn’t able to fix it in this episode but will for Part 3 of this series!

In today’s episode we explore the history of snowmen in art, politics, and expression. We also briefly touch on the Yeti, shallowly diving in to the origins and history. Lastly, we conclude with Part 2 of our Lost Years of Santa Claus story. I hope you enjoy!

Native American Christmas Traditions

In this episode, the first for Season 2!, we explore a small piece of some Christmas traditions of a few Native American tribes and how they have integrated, adapted, and influenced Christmas traditions in the Americas in their own special and unique way. There’s a lot to unpack and go through, so there will likely be a part 2 of this at some point in the future.

Today’s episode is short, and no story today. The Lost Tales of Santa Claus will continue next episode with an update on the whole story and what to expect in the coming episodes.
