The Legend of Krampus

Long before shopping malls and candy canes, winter solstice celebrations gave rise to one of folklore's most fearsome figures. Krampus — whose name comes from the German word krampen, meaning "claw" — is the horned, chain-rattling counterpart to St. Nicholas. While St. Nick rewards the good, Krampus comes for the naughty: brandishing birch branches, stuffing misbehaving children into his sack, or dragging them off entirely. Rooted in the pre-Christian traditions of Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and beyond, Krampus has found a devoted following in the USA as well.
