## Resource

This week on Another Goddamn Horror Podcast , Christmas comes early—and aggressively—as we are invaded by viral holiday legend and chaotic Christmas spirit Sugar Plum Gary . Yes, that Sugar Plum Gary: the merry, unsettling, eggnog-powered embodiment of Christmas dread who knows way too much about Santa and the cosmic horrors of cheer. Apparently, he’s been hiding in our studio for a whole year and we never noticed. We may need an exorcist. Or a fruitcake. We’re also joined by comedian, storyteller, and official Sugar Plum wrangler Emmett Montgomery , who brings warmth, weirdness, and yuletide chaos in equal measure. Together, Emmett and SPG dig into Christmas mythology, holiday ghosts, Santa conspiracies, the cult of Christmas magic, and whether Ryan can finally stop being the Grinch of the Pacific Northwest. Will this be the year Sugar Plum Gary breaks Ryan’s hatred of Christmas? Will Santa spare us? Will trauma-based holiday cheer finally win? Tune in and witness the festive horror.
