EP 72 - Jolliest Bunch O' Mothballs

The Mothball Prophecies

'Tis the season! Come one and all! Join the Mothball Prophecies in a jolly jaunt through the various holiday traditions and family stories. We're joined by some of our favorite past guests. First, we are blessed with a visit from our Fairy Goth Mother: Kate from Bittersqueaks. Kate spills the hot thrift goss' on restoring old and second-hand ornaments and wrapping presents in the most artistic ways possible. Next, the goddess of glitter herself, Elrod of MexaKitsch, sits us down for Glitter University. We've all been glittering wrong apparently and we must repent. From the great white north, we chat with Erin or Farre11kat, and Dave Rademacher who discuss creepy demon Santa’s and weird re-gifted stools respectively. To round out this parfait of pod guests, we get a peek behind the curtain to meet the fabled Grae, man of mystery that he is, and hear some more about the origins of the podcast.

P.S.

Listen, my baby cryptids.

Elf on the Shelf is the actual devil. I burn with hatred for that little stuffed monster and cannot reiterate enough how much you should NOT start that farse of a tradition. DON'T DO IT. Save yourself from the anguish, nay! the visceral self-flagellation, and deny the existence of these creatures to your offspring. It isn't worth it. There will only be tears and broken hearts and you, the parent, up at some ungodly hour to move that satanic imp into a new position so that your children may experience one more year of winter magic.

This year I may have finally killed our elf in the minds of my children. I plan to ritualistically sacrifice him under cover of darkness on the eve of the new year. Learn from my folly, dear ones, and forgo the elf. Instead, scare the shit out of your kids with Krampus. Thus I give you your gift of the season.

Hugs and kisses and possible frostbite.
