HILARIOUS video about the Christmas Krampus put out by an advertising agency for their Christmas video. Really well done, too –

Alcohol fuelled violence by unruly youths would not be accepted in any other context. Why is “tradition” an acceptable excuse for publicly humiliating and assualting women?

By the way. St. Nicolaus ain’t Santa.

Maybe not where you’re from.

The Krampus was not gone. At least not in Munich and the rural areas around. He is a normal guest on the 6th of december. He always shows up with his pal St. Nicolaus. St. Nicolaus is the good guy with the presents and the Krampus is the bad guy with the whip and the big bag where he puts the bad children.

I can’t confirm this report because in my childhood the Krampus was very present during the 80ies. Munich is just 2hours away from Salzburg.

By the way. St. Nicolaus ain’t Santa.
