It's Not Christmas Until it Scares the Children

Krampus continues the theme of national cultures and he's well-known in Europe, particularly in the Alps, but he's forgotten in America.  Krampus comes for the bad kids and he knows all kids are bad ... aren't you, little girl.
It came up a few weeks ago that Cat was just a little girl when she thought she could fight Krampus because she thought he had another little girl stuffed into his rucksack.  She said she was terrified but she had to try.  It's comical now but she was being so brave (larfs).


Queen Bee was in Bavaria for this last year and it sounded like she had a grand time.  The topic will probably come up again between now and Christmas and maybe I can turn up a picture from the trip. Finding anything on Facebook is not easy.
