Sorry about the audio this week. We'll be better next week.
In this holiday season I wanted to bring you some holiday history and legends.
Yule is one of the oldest known festivals. It dates back to ancient Norse culture and is making a come back today.
The Yule Lads are not the same lads people knew about hundreds of years ago. They are now seen as Santas of a sort. But they still have some strange things they like to do.
