Oh, that explains La Bufana in The Santa Clauses. I was wondering what she had to do with Christmas.
Thanks for sharing! A Christmas Witch is very cool. Could she be a cousin of Frau Holle/Hel, who in some folk tales is said to ride through the skies with her wild hunt between Christmas and Jan. 6th?
