In honor of December 5th, here is a video of some Krampus. This kind of Krampus I didn’t mind. It was the ones who skulked in the dark and attacked folks that scared the bejeebus out of me.
Yeah, they are so scary! My kids are scarred for life – but in a good way, because they still love to talk about it!
I find it so interesting that their Christmas tradition has some scary parts. Kind of yin-yang, compared to our very nice (too nice?) cheery, jolly holiday traditions.
