About this listen
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!
Although we hope Santa found you this year, we're here to inform you of what REALLY happens if you're not a good girl or boy. FORGET a lump of coal. These stories will actually scare kids into being good.
Krampus is a half-man, half goat monster used as leverage for centuries to frighten children into being good, or he will come get them. This counterpart to St Nicholas was sent from his lair in "hel" to punish the naughty children or even bring them back home with him for an eternity of punishment.
However, there is an even older deity - Frau Perchta. In the beginning, she was a beautiful goddess but after being ostracized by the Catholic Church for being of pagan decent, she turned dark and craved vengeance. Her evolution turns her into a haggard woman in rags that will remove your innards and replace it with broken glass, rocks and hay. She hates a dirty home and lazy kids but just might overlook things if you leave an offering to her the night of January 5th!
