Title: Krampus for Christmas
Post by: cosworth151 on December 24, 2010, 03:03:09 PM
I'm sure he'll be visiting Bernie this Christmas.

According to legend, Krampus accompanies St. Nicholas during the Christmas season, warning and punishing bad children, in contrast to St. Nicholas, who gives gifts to good children.

(To the tune of Santa Clause is Coming to Town):

You'd better watch out
Better carry a knife
Forget about the presents
And run for your life
Krampus is coming to town!

In Switzerland they are called Schmutzli's, and come with St. Niklaus on December 6th.  They are little black people with branches to beat the children when they are bad.  They are still part of the Christmas blackmail arsenal here in Switzerland today.  Not terribly politically or parentally correct, now are we   :fool: :fool:
