12 Days of Creepmas - Day 1

Welcome to the 12 Days of Creepmas. Everyday there will be a feature of a holiday monster.

Ever heard of the Mari Lwyd? She is Wales' Christmas Zombie Horse and one of my favorite holiday monsters.

With a horse's skull on a pole, cloaked in ribbons and a sheet, Mari Lwyd and her crew go door-to-door, engaging in witty singing battles to be let in for drinks and snacks. Once inside, they cleanse homes of bad energy and create playful chaos. Rooted in ancient folklore and revived in recent decades, this eerie yet joyful tradition blends the spooky with the festive. 🪄✨

Would you invite Mari Lwyd to your house? 🏠🥂 #HolidayFolklore #MariLwyd #SpookyChristmas

This tradition, which dates back to ancient Welsh customs, involves a horse's skull wrapped in a sheet and adorned with ribbons, symbolizing both celebration and the ability to ward off negative energy. The Mari Lwyd visits homes, engaging residents with cheerful singing battles, inviting festive hospitality. This captivating creature has seen a revival in modern festivities, as more people recognize the joy of embracing diverse traditions during the holiday season. The blend of spooky and merry makes the Mari Lwyd an unforgettable part of Creepmas festivities. Invite her in for a unique experience, making your holiday gatherings a mix of laughter and lighthearted frights.

Frau Perchta - 12 Days of Creepmas Day 9
Forget the "Christmas Witch" label—Frau Perchta is way more intense. This ancient Alpine goddess doesn’t just judge your spinning skills; she flies with demons, checks your housekeeping, and… disembowels the lazy. Yup, if your house isn’t spotless or your flax isn’t spun by Twelfth Night

“Creep” - “Radiohead
Radiohead’s "Creep" was banned by the BBC in 1992 not because of its lyrical content or an expletive, but because the network deemed the song "too depressing.” The song was re-released in 1993 and became one of Radiohead's most popular and recognizable songs. #radiohead #90smusi

HOW NOT TO BE A CREEP!
Look fellas, I get it! You want the pretty ladies to notice you and it’s hard fighting the temptation and urge to be thirsty AF. Show some discipline and restraint though. Act like you would want men to show your mom, sister, or grandmother proper respect. We know she thick! We know she fine as all
