Five Innocent Christmas Songs with Surprisingly Dark Pasts

The World of Scripted Podcasts
The static of a nearby radio splits through the warmed air, air that clings to your throat and presses against every aspect of your body. It's a far cry from the frigid outside conditions- snow collecting at the edges of window panes as darkness slowly forms in a now clear sky.
