You have no doubt heard of the legend of Krampus, or krampusnacht...he, like Santa comes this time of year. However, he is not bringing gifts for good little children, but bringing pain and torment for naughty children. A horrific mythical being who descends on the bad seeds bringing a terrible reckoning. That's the tale that's been told...

So be good, or a horned, hairy, toothy monster will come for and do lord knows what.
