I still can't get over how scary the Krampus version is, it seems sadistic LOL.<br /><br />@Janel, I do think it could be helpful in some circumstances LOL.<br /><br />@Mary, I know, I love the name!<br /><br />@Carol, I guess the German immigrants to the US left Krampus behind. Lucky for us! :D<br /><br />@Lisa, LOL, I used to get wound up about the coal too. <br /><br />@Charmaine, I was glad to learn about, definitely different than any other Christmas tradition I know LOL.<br /><br />@Samantha, oh, how fun! I still love St. Nick's day. :)<br /><br />@Melissa, LOL, sometimes I need an antidote too LOL.<br /><br />@Hilary, oh no, I'm sorry blogger is giving you fits. But now we have the perfect name for it LOL.

I guess if he'd looked anything like the creature in the first pic we would all have been scared to the bones! We call him Knecht Ruprecht over here, which basically means he's St. Nicholas' helper. <br />I have a lot of fond memories of that old tradition and still love it tons. It's great that your mom introduced you to it as well! <br />LOL about those kids in the store, I've no doubt Krampus would have taught them to behave!Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03875210240973757780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-32379866554743156512012-12-03T13:56:25.419-08:002012-12-03T13:56:25.419-08:00Krampus is rather scary looking.
