Episode 202: Strange Christmas Traditions Worldwide

After such an interesting episode about Krampus, I thought I would take a deeper dive into Christmas traditions in other parts of the world. I could have done multiple episodes on this, but I decided to choose three of them for now, one of with which I’m already familiar. For this week’s episode, we’ll take a look at three Christmas traditions with (hopefully) a video game to match: A talking Pokemon, a brother’s gift to his sister, and getting close to the Colonel. There’ll also be remixes and covers to follow each track. Sit back and learn about some interesting traditions…   “Beware the Yule Cat, Iceland’s Child-Eating Christmas Monster” “The Yule Goat: A Quintessential Nordic Christmas Symbol” Gälve Goat (Wikipedia) Gävleboken (YouTube livestream) Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Jorvik Yule Goat Mystery Goat Japan’s KFC Tradition Explained   Track Listing “Team Rocket’s Hideout” – [Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow] – composed by Junichi Masuda “Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow – Team Rocket Hideout Acapella” – covered by Smooth McGroove “Main Theme” – [Assassin’s Cred: Valhalla] – composed by Sarah Schachner, Jesper Kyd “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Music Orchestra – Official Main Theme Remix” – remixed by Valhalla Music “Main Theme” – [I Love You, Colonel Sanders!] – composed by Hexany “KFC Dating Sim – “I love you, Colonel Sanders!
