This Christmas fairy elf is
a jolly little fellow.
He sits on a tiny box I decoupaged
with Christmas images.
On one end, is the Christmas Krampus.
The kids thought he was horrible &
would always turn the box so he couldn't
be seen.
St. Nicholas was kind, generous and handed
out treats to good children. Krampus was evil,
covered in stinking goat fur and whipped
bad children with sticks and chains.
Translates, Greetings from Krampus.
If you'd been very bad, Krampus would
stuff you in his basket and take you
down to Hades.
Krampus was a popular figure
on Christmas postcards.
Parents in Germany, Austria, Italy and
the Alpine region of Europe frightened
their children into being good by telling
them terrible tales of Krampus.
Krampus is much worse than
the threat of getting a lump
of coal in your stocking!
