Thanks to a Boing Boing blog post shared by Matt Bell in Google Reader, I’ve just discovered KRAMPUS, the mythological creature who accompanies St. Nicholas in Alpine countries and punishes poorly-behaved children. Wikipedia doesn’t specify the punishment. Does he eat them? How did I not know about this? PEOPLE, THIS IS A REAL THING, I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY NEVER USED THIS SHIT ON BUFFY.
See more Krampus photos here.

This seems to be the year of Krampus. He’s everywhere I look this Christmas.
I effing love Krampus, and I effing love saying his name with a German accent. It sounds like this: KRAMPUS.
And now, back to family things.
Oh my god. This is horrifying. I love it.
