Most of the beasties we mention in this episode can be found in The Old Magic of Christmas, by Linda Raedisch (she’ll be in our second holiday show, by the way).
I also highly recommend this little site, which explores several of the critters we discuss.
For information on the Belsnickel, I point you to Alfred Shoemaker’s Christmas in Pennsylvania and Earl Haag’s Pennsyvaanisch Deitsche (all of this will also show up in Podcast 71 as well).
If you have feedback you’d like to share, email us or leave a comment. We’d love to hear from you!
