The Krampus is the antithesis of St. Nicholas and is celebrated in some European cultures on the eve of St. Nicholas' day. And on St. Nicholas' day when children are visited by St. Nick who favours them with presents if they've been good, the old fat man doesn't punish the naughty but saves that pleasure for his sidekick - The Krampus - who administers his blend of punishment with a switch and chains.
So let's hear it for The Krampus and let's await his return with pleasure! What a better world we'd have if he did come to take away and torture the horrible kids of today!
So have a Merry Christmas and one mercifully free from any children!
