Merry Krampus

krampus.gif How wonderful that there is such a thing as a Krampus, and I didn't even know about it until yesterday! 

Krampus is a shaggy demon who accompanies Saint Nicolas on his Christmas rounds in parts of eastern Europe.  Bad children, as I understand it, are beaten and stuffed in a sack. 

In all the commercial hubbub of North American Christmases, we've obviously forgotten the real meaning of the season -- violent goat-faced demons.
