Krampus - Santa's evil twin

Not everyone knows about the famous Krampus, so I thought I would share what I have learned.
Santa Claus (St. Nicholoas) comes at Christmas time to see all the good children. However he has a darker twin called Krampus who has been reputed to beat children, or even kidnap them and keep them for a year in his lair.

Not someone you want to meet at Christmas time

Many countries in Europe now have parades with young men dressed as Krampus scaring onlookers!

This Greeting card from 1900's says Greetings from Krampus!!
