Krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore of Alpine countries thought to punish children during the Christmas season who had misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts. Krampus is said to capture particularly naughty children in his sack and carry them away to his lair.

Great job with that nasty looking Krampus...at least you sneaked Santa in the for a little nice.
ResponderExcluirwe don´t know Krampus in Germany(only Knecht Ruprecht), but I remember a children´s book from Austria that we´ve had in my childhood, and the Krampus in that one looked like yours ...
ResponderExcluirThis is fantastic!! (And now I wish I had looked up the word Krampus. I thought it was some play on words to mean Creepy Christmas. Darn.)
ResponderExcluirWonderful card Karla! Love that Santa's there reminding us there's still time to be good.
