Happy Krampus Day! Dang, Austria, you scary!

On the eve of St. Nicholas’s Day in early December, Austrians celebrate the Krampuslauf (Krampus Run or Krampus Day). The Krampus is a devilish companion of St. Nicholas who punishes bad children just as St. Nicholas rewards good ones. Elaborately costumed revellers portray the Krampus as a dark, hairy, cloven-hooved beast with horns, a leering mouth, chains and a switch. Children are invited to throw snowballs at the Krampus.

a: Holy cow Krampus is a real thing? I just thought it was something Scott Kurtz made up this year. Neato.
b: How many christians you figure look at this and decrie its paganism without stopping to think for 5sec about the actual origins of christmas/yule?
