Hope you're wearing your new clothes or the Yule Cat will get you! In this year's holiday special, we talk about the myth of the Yule Cat. So grab a hot chocolate, curl up under a blanket, and join me as we wrap up the year and learn about this yule time floofer.

Editor's Note: This is also the last episode with this audio quality since she's getting an upgraded microphone for Christmas! She just doesn't know it yet, so shhhhhh
